Prevent table rows from breaking in the middle across pages in Word using Table Properties
Sometimes, when you are working with tables in Microsoft Word, you might notice that when the content of a table extends/moves from one page to another, some row breaks or splits in middle across pages, this happens when the row content is too large to fit on the first page, so part of it moves to the next page, making it look disjointed and difficult to read. In this post, I will show you how to stop or prevent table rows from breaking across pages in word through table properties, so your document looks cleaner and easier to read.
After preventing row breaking entire rows stay together on one page. This ensures that no row will split between pages, which keeps your table looking neat and more readable.
Here is how you can prevent table rows from breaking in the middle
Preventing table rows from breaking or splitting can be achieved by using the following methods.
