How to show a table on another page?

Table tool problem in Word 2007 after activating show hid paragraphs to get rid of invisible paragraphs?

  • I cut and pasted an email to word and this has a coloured heading border where the title of the email; time; date; email addresses; etc are. The grey header would not go right to the top of the page but a line or two short. Usually when this happens it’s due to invisable paragraphing that you can see when you display the show/hide paragraphs option. Clicking the cursor to go up that page usually then brings the text right to the top and get rids of spacing. On this occasion though the show hide/paragraph marks were show the invisible paragraph but when I took the cursor up the rows to the top, it stopped a line or two from the top and would not budge any further. On the line that I needed to take the emails heading in replace of the usual symbol for the paragraph line is now an odd little circle with four legs – one each corner. Not that a circle has a corner but if it were inside a square the lines would reach each corner. I cannot budge the little so and so, and clicking on it has activated the table tool tab but I do not know what to do to delete it. I never use this part of Word so it’s a total mystery to me. Can someone please tell me how I get rid of it? And what it is for future reference? Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Answer:

    It sounds as if the space might be in the header because you say it is greyed out.. If you are not now seeing non-printing characters, press Ctrl-Shift-* to see them. Press Shift-F1 to bring up the formatting task pane. Click in different parts of the doc to see what formatting is applied in that area. Double click in the header to make it active so that you can edit it. The body of the doc will now be grayed out. Double click in the body of the doc to make it active. The header is now grayed out. As far as that strange symbol, it is an end of cell marker in a table. If you remove the cell borders of a table and do not show the gridlines which display on the screen but do not print, it is very difficult to see that you have a table. To show gridlines, click next to this symbol and the Table Tools contextual tab will appear. Click on the Layout tab, Table group and click on gridlines. To delete a table you cannot simply highlight it and press delete on the keyboard. This will delete the content of the cells but not the cells. There is a delete icon Table Tools tab or you can press Ctrl-X to get rid of those cells.
