Prev: Creating a template in Word 2000

I've created a table with one row and one column, but later I added a second
row. When I added text to the second row, suddenly the last row moved to
the next page, even though Print Preview showed that there was enough room
for the row and text. When I tried to move that row back to its original
position, I notice black dots on either side of the table, which act like a
page break. I can't get the row and text back to its original page. What do I
do?

What's going on? Is there a way to get rid of the dotted lines so that I can
place the last row with the rest of the rows on the same page?

Any help will be appreciated.

I have Word 2003.

Maybe the paragraph in the second row is formatted with "Page Break
Before".

Click in that paragraph and go to the Format > Paragraph dialog. Click
the Line & Page Breaks tab of that dialog. If "Page Break Before" is
checked, uncheck it.

If that's the cause, I can't tell you how it happened -- that setting
is very hard to apply by mistake.

But the setting is inherited when you press Tab to create a new row--and may
well have been applied to the preceding rows (especially the heading row).

A small black square on either side of a paragraph (or table row), as
opposed to a row of small dots across the screen, indicates that one
of the attributes that causes paragraphs to stick to what follows is
invoked: either "Keep Lines Together" or "Keep With Next" (or both).
Both of these are controlled in the Format > Paragraph dialog (second
tab).

(I don't think they appear when the table attribute about not breaking
a row across pages is turned on.)

I agree that the setting was probably inherited from the previous row
-- but how did that one get it? I don't know of any way to get that
accidentally, as there is no default shortcut or simple place to click
by mistake, nor is there any built-in style that has Page Break
Before.
