paragraph mark in Word Table. 1

[corgette]

I am using a table in Word 2007.

A paragraph mark suddenly appeared on the top of the last page otside the table area.

Any rows below it are not recognized as part of the table.

How do I get rid of it ?

Thanks,
Corg

Hi Corg,

Have you tried selecting & deleting the paragraph mark?

Or you could try 'Convert Text To Table' for the stray paragraph. Separate tables will merge if you give them the same columns. Sometimes it's necessary to delete the 'Table Grid' style from 'Styles and Formatting'.

I am not fully understanding the question.

AFAIK, Word can never end with a table. It always has a real paragraph mark as the terminating character. In other words, if you go to the end of a document, insert a table, Word will add a paragraph mark after the table.

However, what I am not following is: "Any rows below it are not recognized as part of the table. "

What rows? If they are rows, I have to assume they are in a real table. In which case, if you want that table to be part of the previous table, just do what macropod suggested. Delete the intermediate paragraph mark. The following table will - or should - merge with the preceding one.
