I found this video to be very useful. One of my biggest pet peeves is when cells in tables span two seperate pages. I managed to make sure that my analysis of writing project didn’t have cells that spanned multiple pages, but I believe I did it by manually adding in page breaks, rather than the method shown in the video which conveniently does it automatically.

After watching this video, I wished I watched it a little earlier so that I could apply that technique to my Analysis assignment. I tried to reduce the length of sentences in the description column of my project to avoid the the row of the table breaks into two pages. Reducing the sentences did not affect a lot to my project, but I could’ve added a little more description to it to make it clear. Anyway, this skills is good to know.

This video was very helpful when editing my final table. I used what I learned and applied it to my project so that the format and style of it was aesthetically pleasing. Simple tools like this save a lot of frustration because Word has many annoying qualities when formatting.

I found this video quite helpful during the production of my Writing Analysis table. I had a large amount of information to fit onto one page and using these tools enabled me to keep all the information on one page and avoid separating information. This also allowed me to maintain the format I desired with the text size I chose.

This video was very helpful because I had never used the table properties setting in Word before. It made the information in the table clearer. I had been trying to shift the cells to the next page, but I had not figured out how to do it until this video was posted.

Last week, there was a Lynda.com video posted as a Daily Discussion Post about table formatting. If you watched the entire module, they included a video on how to avoid this, so I already incorporated it into my own table. However, it would have been useful to pass on to my group members as I was reviewing their drafts. I should have sent them the link or at least gave them some insight on how to accomplish it and not just suggest to do it.

I find this video very helpful. It really bothered me when my table broke in between the pages. What I did was just put spaces in the rows so that the broken one will just start from a page. I am glad I can fix it now. Thank you.

For those using Libre Office, I accomplished the same thing by going to Table -> Properties -> Text Flow and unchecking “Allow row to break across pages and columns”.

Yeah, I saw some of my group members including me have this kind of problems. This is a good way to fix this problem, and make the table clear and easy to read. This is definitely useful for the future use especially for make a table. If the table seemed not that organized, it would be extremely hard to read on.

I think this video does a good job of showing how to make a paper aesthetically pleasing because when a text box is broken up, the entire page isn’t really cohesive. It makes reading the page easier, and I know that I’ll be using it in the future because it ‘s an easy fix to a problem that could make your paper look weird.
