Table breaking

Hi

Is there a way I can stop a table breaking over a page break. I would like to keep all the rows in a table on the same page (assuming the table is small enough, of course).

Thanks

Mike

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. Could you please attach sample document for investigating?
I think that you can try using “Keep with next” (Select your table and do the following “Paragraph format”/“Line and page breaks”/“Keep with next” checkbox).
Or use the following code.

// Open document
Document doc = new Document(@"Test148\in.doc");
// Get table
Table wordTable = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0];
// Get collection of paragraphs
NodeCollection paragraphs = wordTable.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true, false);
foreach (Paragraph par in paragraphs)
{
    par.ParagraphFormat.KeepTogether = true;
}
// Save document
doc.Save(@"Test148\out.doc");

You can also try using AllowBreakAcrossPages property. See the following code.

// Open document
Document doc = new Document(@"Test148\in.doc");
// Get table
Table wordTable = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0];
foreach (Row tabRow in wordTable.Rows)
{
    tabRow.RowFormat.AllowBreakAcrossPages = true;
}
// Save document
doc.Save(@"Test148\out.doc");

Best regards

Hi

Thanks for that. It didn’t work - but then I realised you meant par.ParagraphFormat.KeepWithNext = true; (not ‘KeepTogether’).

I know you were just testing me.

Thanks
