Tables splitting across pages

Post by helen »

Morning

I'm publishing to Word and using a table css to style my tables. This is all good except my tables keep splitting across pages when I publish (leaving two rows on one page and the rest on the next page for example). Is there anything I can add to my table CSS to make them behave? I found some orphan options in normal css but I'm not using this for tables so I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is.

Thanks! 8)

Nothing that i am aware of, other than a tip:
if you create a table and use the Table Headers otpion, outputing to Word, the table headers will repeat at the top of each new page break for the table. useful.
If you submit your bug feedback request here, the more likely it'll get fixed or included in a future release

I learnt this one recently, in the following discussion:

You can use the following setting to make sure Word keeps paragraphs together - it's not the same as the "don't break rows" setting, but it might get you started.:

Thanks - I've already got that setting but I've still got a vast amount of post-processing to do in Word. I can't wait for Blaze, I even dreamt about it the other night. :oops:
