Tables, figures and boxes

Remember that large or landscape format tables don't work in the web viewer.

Use the standard table style, which has single horizontal and vertical lines dividing each column and row. This should appear automatically when you insert a table; if it doesn't, go to the Design tab and the Table styles group, and choose 'Table Grid 1'. Don't add shading or coloured tints to the table.

To stop a table breaking across pages, highlight all the rows you want to keep together except the last, right click on the mouse, select 'Paragraph'>'Line and Page Breaks' and tick 'Keep with next'. If you have footnotes in the last row, highlight all but the last paragraph of the footnote instead of the whole row.

For advice on the content and layout of tables, see the NICE style guide.
