Tables - Workaround For Block Protecting Rows |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The user is not able to block protect two rows of cells in a table. Solutions: Actually, this feature is working as designed. If you look in the WordPerfect manual on page 702 under page breaks, you will see that the second sentence says "If you want to protect a table from being split by a page break, use block protect." The key word here is TABLE. This doesn't mean separate rows. This information has been forwarded to the documentation department for their consideration. The following steps list a workaround for this problem: 1. Add an extra column to the table and make this column as narrow as possible. 2. Block the cells that need to be kept together from top to bottom and join the cells. 3. Take out the left line of that column by pressing 3 for Lines, 1 for Left, and 1 for None. The user now has an invisible column with one cell that spans rows to be block protected. Since a page break cannot divide a cell, the rows that go with the invisible cell will be block protected. Note: This will not work in all instances. Block protecting the entire table is the best way to keep WP from splitting a two-row table. In WP 6.0, users have the ability to block protect table rows. |
