Trying to leverage a process that creates information for publication on the web, I am trying to import the raw HTML into Word to provide a decent looking printable document. The HTML mostly contains <TABLE> elements which represent calendar months. Word is successfully able to render the HTML. I would like to be able to insert page breaks so that each month can reside on its own page. (Currently I get partial months spanning the pages.) After having saved the doc in Word format, I am attempting to position the cursor at the head of the month and insert a page break from the Insert menu. It seems that no matter where I place the cursor within the table elements, the page break always ends up the top of the document. At one point I had 11 blank pages followed by my calendar entries when I went to print. I've tried altering the HTML with additional breaks including a Microsoft-specific one: <p style="page-break-before: always"> but have had no luck to date. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Evan
Hi Evan, What version of Word are you using? Is each month a separate table or is it one long table with nested table elements? Are you working in Print Layout View? Is there a web page URL available with an example of this calendar? ================= >>"esmith2112" wrote in message news:7305d877-15d1-4d9a-8b34-a40bfc51ee1d@e25g2000prg.googlegroups.com...

Hi Bob. I am using Word 2000. My page is only available on internal intranet. Each month is its own <TABLE> element. It seems no matter which view I'm in, that the page breaks always go to the top of document when I try to manually insert while in Word. I thought I could pare down the HTML and post the essence of the problem here. But interestingly enough after stripping it down, the problem went away. This leads me to believe that the problem lies within some element of the HTML that Word is interpreting in a curious way. Since I stripped so much off, I can't tell which element that would be. Would it help if I emailed the HTML?

Repeating my previous experiment, I was able to narrow down the offending HTML tag, an overlapping <TABLE> element. Word was doing exactly it should have. Your questions in your previous post led me to the solution in a roundabout way, so I give you my thanks for stimulating the brain processes!
