Fix – Word Table Flows off Page and Disappears

I was updating a document at work and came across a strange occurance. My cursor would just go down off the page, but wouldn’t arrive at the next page. It turns out that the table had an incorrect setting. Here’s the fix:

• Select the problem row of the table by clicking in the left margin (you should see the row highlight)
• Right click on the highlighted area
• Click on “Table Properties …” in the pop-up menu
• Uncheck the box that says “Specify Height” (this is on the Row Tab ->Size Section -> Rows Subsection -> Specify Height Checkbox)
• Done.

Hopefully that helps someone out there.
