Bullets in a table

[bufbec]

Here's a good one. I have a document approx 25 pages, mostly made up of
a 2 column table. Many bullet points throughout. Now I have to update
this document. When I am at a bullet point and hit enter, expecting a
blank bullet point to appear, instead it is deleting about 2 pages of
my text! I have checked into the bullets formatting, don't see
anything. I have checked the macros (which I don't know how to do) and
that screen was blank. I have tried going into the end of a paragraph
and hit enter as well as going to the start of a paragraph and hit
enter, no matter what it is deleting all this text.

Does anyone know what is going on, and how to solve it? Thanks for your
help.

If all the text that "dissapears" is in the same cell (row) where you're
trying to edit, it may be due to the settings for the Table. Check
Table>Properties to see if Row Height is set to "Exactly" some measurement &
if there is a check has been removed to "Allow row to break across pages".

Thanks much. This almost worked. I changed the 2 settings in table
properties, and tried again. Hit enter, Word input a new bullet, then a
second later deleted it along with my 2 pages again. At least this time
it took a pause.

Then you are probably dealing with a corrupt doc or at least a corrupt
table. See the article on this page for probable cause, effect & cure:
