Extra page after a table in Word

[Trentham]

This little quirk has been annoying me for some time and maybe there is a way round it!

If I have a table which ends at the bottom of a page (or at least so close that there isn't enough room for a normal text line following it) a new page follows the table even though there is nothing on it.

I assume this is caused by the fact that the table has a hard return after it but I don't have the option (as far as I can see) of getting rid of it.

Does anyone have any way round this. It has happened in every version of Word I've come across.

Since you duped your Q, I'll dupe the A.



Turn on your show/hide button.
Select the paragraph return that's sitting under your table.
(click so cursor is left or paragraph return, hit Shift+Right arrow)
Format that paragraph return to be 1 pt in font size. (type the 1 into the font size dropdown box and hit enter).

That usually does it for me.

Thanks Anne, taht's a method I've used in the past as a work around. I guess I was hoping that there was some cunning feature that would let me lose the CR that insisted on being *after* the table.

Nope.
But you can go to print preview too, and choose the "fit to page" button...
