Start next row on new page

["B. de Lange" <be...@tiscali.nl>]

Dear users,

 

I like to see the next row of a table on a new page. But I can't find how to
do. Can someone help me?

 

Kind regards,

 

Bert de Lange

Oh, I suspect you were.

I don't see any way to do that. The help text says that the "Allow 
table to split across pages and columns" option "[a]llows a page 
break or column break between the rows of a table", but I suspect 
that refers to a natural and necessary break, not to a manual break.

But the big question is why are you insisting on not using the 
obvious technique of splitting the table? There seems no difference 
in appearance between a single table and separate tables except for 
any borders, and surely you wouldn't want borders spanning the unused 
part of the first page anyway? Separate tables would also mean that 
adjustments to column widths would apply separately, which might 
increase work very slightly. You can add extra rows at the bottom of 
the first table as easily as you could add them between existing rows 
of a single table, of course.

I always think of question like this as being rather like "How do I 
turn right in my car without using the steering wheel?". The steering 
wheel is provided for the purpose, so why not use it?

Dear Brian,

Thank you very much. But I was not clear in my question.
In my table I like to have a row on the next page, while there is still room
on the page left and without splitting the table. Is that possible? In fact
I start with a new subject, but more information can be added later.

Kind regards,

Bert de Lange

There are various ways to do this.

o Go to Table | Table Properties | Text Flow (or right-click | Table... |
Text Flow) and note the options "Allow table to split across pages and
columns" and "Allow row to break across pages and columns". Toggle those
settings to achieve what you need. Note that the first one applies to the
entire table, whereas the second can be applied to rows generally or
separately, either by selecting the relevant row(s) before applying a change
or else by using right-click 
| Row > | Allow Row to Break Across Pages and Columns" instead. This
is the ideal method if all you need is to avoid a row being split across a
page break.

o You can construct two separate tables. If you have already created your
table, you can split it into two. With the cursor in the part of the row on
the first page, go to Table | Split Table (or right-click 
| Split Table). Then you can place the second table however you wish
using the normal facilities.

I trust this helps.
