ne way to continue a table in another location is to specify a table break. The table
break is the maximum size the table can reach before it splits into two linked tables.
In continued tables, any changes to a table, such as inserted columns, are reflected
throughout the table. To manually create a continued instance of a table:
Choose Table > Table Break to display the Table Break Properties dialog box.1.
The Table Break Properties dialog box
Check Width to break the table when its width exceeds the value in the field.2.
By default, the current width of the table displays in the Width field —
decreasing this value will break the table.
Check Height to break the table when its height exceeds the value in the field.
3.
By default, the current height of the table displays in the Height field —
decreasing this value will break the table.
You can specify the number of header rows by entering a value in the Header
4.
Rows field. (For more information, see “Adding header and footer rows to tables.”)
If the table has a header, you can check Continued Header to create a different5.
version of the header that displays in continued instances of a table. For
example, if the header on the first portion of the table is “List of Contributors,”
the continued header might be “List of Contributors (continued).” Click First
Header Row to limit the continued header to the first header row, or All
Header Rows to create continued headers from all header rows.
To set the continued header’s contents, close this dialog box, then go to a
portion of the table after the first and change the header contents there.
You can specify the number of footer rows by entering a value in the Footer
6.
Rows field.
