Forms Sections & Printing

[Leslie Pollak]

Hi,
I am using Word 2003 on Windows XP, with all updates applied.
I have created a one (1) page form with 5 sections. Each formatted as
Continuous Section Break.
Most of the time all the information entered by my users of the forms will
fit onto one page.
But there are times where a section can occupy two (2) pages.
My goal is to have sections that occupy more than one (1) page to be printed
on the next page, therefore keeping all of the information in that section
grouped together on the same page.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks
Leslie

I would have your form inside a table and have the individual sections
table rows. Then you can modify the properties of your table so that it
does not split across pages. Table | Table Properties | Row - clear the
checkmarks from allow row to break across pages.

Hi Dawn, thanks.
So I would make 5 sections, within each section are my tables, and format
the properties of each table within each section.

Any of your sections that you do not want to break across pages would
need to be inside of a table. I'm not sure how you have your form setup,
but I imagine it looks something like...

Section 1
Lots of Form fields

Section 2
General Text

Section 3
Lots of Form fields

Section 4
General Text

Section 5
More Form fields

So, how I would suggest changing your format is:

Section 1
Beginning of Table
Lots of Form fields
End of Table

Section 2
General Text

Section 3
Beginning of Table
Lots of Form fields
End of Table

Section 4
General Text

Section 5
Beginning of Table
More Form fields
End of Table


Does that help???

I tried to send you a document, but it bounced back to me. Please advise
your correct email address. It is generally bad form to include
attachments in this forum.

Feel free to email your address direct to me at dlcrosier at
