Hi,
I have created a doc that is almost entirely tables. Word seems to be
putting in page breaks whereever it wants to. Can I control this, or at
least shift them a bit?

Thanks

Whenever I create documents with lots of tables like that, I make sure my
rows are as small (short) as can be. Then, I select row(s) and use "keep
with next" to make the rows break where I want them to. I also select entire
tables first, and make sure they are set NOT to break rows across pages, but
depending on your layout, you may not want to do that one.
**** Hope it helps! ****
