You would lose it if another table began below the last part of the split table. On 2014-Oct-02 5:43 PM, Robert Lauriston wrote: If the heading is in the header or footer, you don't lose the title. On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 2:19 PM, Lin Sims ljsims...@gmail.com wrote: Not a bad idea, but this

What is the benefit of putting a table anchor in its own paragraphs instead of putting the anchor at the end of the preceding paragraph? I've inherited lots of documents that do things like that and it seemed to me like pointless busywork, but the people who set up the templates were long gone so

I like to use my cursor keys to scroll from table to table, and putting each table anchor in its own paragraph lets me do that. If they're all on the same line, pressing the up or down arrow once pops you to the beginning or end of all of the tables that are anchored in the same line. I do a lot

I'm describing IC chip registers. There is absolutely no point in having text or a heading in between each one, and this particular piece of IP has about 500 or so of them. As always, it depends on what you're doing and who your audience is. On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 4:26 PM, Robert Lauriston

For the registers, we list all the table names as active links in a table upfront. But if I am simply scanning through the tables, I find it easier to use the cursor button than the mouse wheel. Your mileage may, of course, vary. There are also places where a brief paragraph introduces a set of

In a situation like that, I use headings instead of table names. In a single-source environment, headings are more flexible. On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 2:10 PM, Lin Sims ljsims...@gmail.com wrote: For the registers, we list all the table names as active links in a table upfront. But if I am simply

Not a bad idea, but this is the corporate style. We're also not single-sourcing. (We were moving to that, but then the company got acquired and the techcomm department was decentralized. But that's a whole other story.) Even if it were my call, I'm not sure I'd go that way. If the table splits
