I am using tables to frame and hold figures with associated text in a technical report
The table is roughly half a portrait page in height (full width) and has two rows:
The top row has a single column
The 2nd (bottom) row has two columns
The single cell in the top row is designed to contain a figure
The first cell in the second row contains a figure caption and the second cell contains a company logo
I have added this table into the quick part gallery so that when I want to insert a figure I can quickly add the picture frame which subsequently automatically updates the sequential figure caption numbering
The problem I have is when I want to insert two figures one beneath another. Because I am using tables when I insert a table one beneath another the two tables automatically merge into a single 4 row table whereas I want two separate 2 row tables for my
two figures...
Can this automatic merging of tables be prevented?
nb. I have managed to do this by simply inserting an extra blank paragraph at the end of the first table before adding a second table but is there a better way of doing this?
There is no way to separate tables except with a text paragraph. In fact, if you use Word's Split Table command, it will insert an empty paragraph.
