Subject:Tables, Text Boxes, and Frames, oh my! From:"Logue, Jason" <JLogue -at- lrs -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 29 Nov 2001 15:32:57 -0600
Hi Listers,
I have a question about Word2k. I am working on the template proposal and
am trying to figure out a problem with a table cell on the first page. I
inserted a basic TOC within the table cell that lists only heading 2 topics.
This will give the reader a quick idea of the main sections within that
particular document.
My question concerns how to lock the table down. It is set so the text
wraps around the table box, and the "move with text" box is unchecked. This
problem does not occur when I type text around or near the table. However,
when I paste large portions of text onto the same page; the table box is
knocked down to the second page. This is a big problem since most proposals
are created by pasting large portions of text from previous proposals into a
template.
Okay, I just tried the same thing with a text box formatted as an anchored
frame - no dice.
Any ideas, suggestions, cheesecake recipes, anything?
TIA,
Jason
