Don't Ever Break Table Rows

[Sundog]

In Word 2007, in every document I work on that has tables, I do not ever want Word to "Allow row to break across pages." How do I change this default behavior, so I don't have to uncheck the @##$% box for every table?

As far as I know, you can't change the default behavior. You could create the following macro in your default template Normal.dotm:

Code: Select all

Sub StopBreakRow()
  Dim tbl As Table
  For Each tbl In Selection.Tables
    tbl.Rows.AllowBreakAcrossPages = False
  Next tbl
End Sub

If you assign it to a Quick Access Toolbar button and/or custom keyboard shortcut, you can easily turn off "Allow row to break across pages" for all tables within the selection.

That will do the trick! Thanks, Hans.

Another way that I've implemented this is to define a custom table with that option unchecked, and save it to the Quick Styles Gallery and BuildingBlocks.dotx.
