When working on systematizing and organizing text, the question often arises of how to create a table break in Word. This question is relevant when it needs to be done directly in a text file.
For long-term and convenient work with tables, it is easier to use MS Excel (Microsoft Excel), a program specially designed for this.
It is possible to continue dividing the table as long as there are at least two rows left in it. If there is only one left, you can add new ones, or not separate them, but create a new sign.
How to split a table in Word
Any version of Word has a universal way to break tables - through the menu.
- Before breaking it, select an empty line in it using the left mouse button or position the cursor in front of the first word in the line.
- From the top menu, open Layout-Merge-Split.
You will receive a form divided into two parts, and the selected line (where the cursor was placed) will become the first line in the new table.
In some versions of Word, the names of the menu tabs may be different. For example, Table-Break or Layout-Breaks-Next Page. But the general meaning of how to do it will remain clear, the result will not change.
Full-featured PDF solution
The rise in popularity of PDF can also be attributed to the emergence of PDF editors. Working with PDF files and converting them to other formats has become much easier. One of the PDF editors that made this possible is PDFelement. It is an all-in-one PDF editor that allows users to easily perform all the necessary actions on PDF files. When it comes to a PDF editor, most people think of Adobe first, but unfortunately, it is quite an expensive program that is out of reach for many users. PDFelement is a top-notch editor that has all the features and quality of Adobe, but costs much less, making it the most cost-effective PDF editor available today. Let's look at the features of PDFelement.
PDFelement gives you complete control over your PDF files. This gives you a lot of options to work with your PDFs. You can create PDF from scratch, convert it to other document formats such as Word, Excel and others. Among many other tools, the program is equipped with an optical character recognition function that allows you to convert scanned PDFs into editable, searchable files. Other features:
Split using Word keyboard shortcuts
We learned how to split a table in Word using the menu. The same action can be performed using the keyboard key combination CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER:
- Place the cursor on the line that will be the first in the new table.
- Press all 3 keys together.
- The result will be a division into two parts, between which there will be an empty line.
- In versions of Word from 2007 to 2016, it is convenient to use other hotkeys.
- Place the cursor on the line before which you want to split the table.
- Press Ctrl+Enter. A gap will appear.
The peculiarity of this key combination is that the first part will remain in place, and the second, after division, will move to the next page. Therefore, use the method when you need to divide parts of the table into different sheets. It's faster and more convenient than moving objects with the cursor.
Benefits of PDF documents
Anyone who downloads, uploads or distributes documents online will encounter PDFs sooner or later. If you work in an office, it is almost impossible to do without using PDF files, because... Due to its properties, this format is used very often in work. PDF offers unprecedented benefits to users with a wide variety of needs. Let's start with the excellent security features that keep your PDF safe. For example, a PDF file, unlike Word documents, cannot be edited by an outside user. This feature is very useful - especially if you publish legal documents or scientific articles and transmit them over the Internet. In addition, they are not infected with Trojans or viruses.
Another important quality of PDF is that it can be viewed in most browsers. Clicking a PDF link will easily open it in any browser, which is another reason why many users choose this format.
