Check to see whether the text that follows the page break is in a table

Word includes an option that does not allow a page break to be inserted in a table cell. As a result, if the entire cell does not fit on the page, Word pushes the entire cell to the next page.

To change this option, follow these steps.

Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003

  1. Place the insertion point in the table.
  2. On the Table menu, click Table Properties.
  3. Click the Row tab.
  4. Click to select the Allow row to break across pages check box.

This sets the page break option for the entire table.

Word 2007, Word 2010, and Word 2013

  1. Place the insertion point in the table.
  2. Go to the Layout tab under Table Tools.
  3. In the Table group, click Properties.
  4. Click the Row tab.
  5. Click to select the Allow row to break across pages check box.
    This sets the page break option for the entire table.

Search for manual (or 'hard') page breaks

You may have inserted a manual page break by pressing CTRL+ENTER. Or, you may have inserted a manual page break by using one of the following methods, depending on your version of Word.

Word 2002, Word 2002, or Word 2003

  1. On the Insert menu, click Break.
  2. Select Page break, and then click OK.

Word 2007, Word 2010, and Word 2013

On the Insert tab, click Page Breaks on the Pages group.

You can use the Replace command to remove manual page breaks by searching for manual page breaks.

Note Do not click the Replace All button when you remove manual page breaks unless your document contains no section breaks.

Check for unexpected page breaks following 'Normal' style text
