Re: moving table rows in word 2007
I am wondering/guessing: Did you press Ctrl+Return to insert page breaks in
the original tables in order to push rows to the next page page?
If that is the case, it could explain what happens. A page break splits a
table into two. If you move rows around, the page break may no longer fall at
the bottom of the page and this may make it obvious that you have more than
one table.
You can see the page breaks if you turn on non-printing characters
(Ctrl+Shift+8). If you click in a table and select Table > Select > Table,
you can also check how much is selected â the command selects an entire table.
If you need page breaks in a table, select all of or part of the row you
want to start on a new page. Then select Format > Paragraph > Line and Page
Breaks tab and turn on âPage break beforeâ. This will not split the table.

Re: moving table rows in word 2007
I, too have the same problem. I paste a row and then it break apart the table
into three pieces that cannot be joined. Please help!

Re: moving table rows in word 2007
This usually happens if you are pasting from one table to another, and the
tables have different settings for "Text wrapping" (on the Table tab of the
Table Properties dialog box). Make sure both tables have "Text wrapping" set
to "None," and then try again.
If you are copying/pasting within a single table--did you try the other
suggestions in this thread?
