00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,635
A client handoff table is easy to misread when one record

2
00:00:03,635 --> 00:00:07,190
begins at the bottom of one page and finishes at the

3
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:08,483
top of the next.

4
00:00:08,483 --> 00:00:11,068
Google Docs has a row setting for this.

5
00:00:11,068 --> 00:00:14,623
We will use a fictional handoff row, turn off row overflow,

6
00:00:14,623 --> 00:00:16,239
and inspect the printed PDF.

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,794
The goal is to keep one record together, not to force

8
00:00:19,794 --> 00:00:21,733
the entire table onto one page.

9
00:00:22,333 --> 00:00:26,327
The practice text contains a table header and several fictional handoff records.

10
00:00:26,327 --> 00:00:29,987
Paste it into a safe Google Doc and turn the records

11
00:00:29,987 --> 00:00:33,981
into a table, or use your own table with one tall row.

12
00:00:33,981 --> 00:00:37,974
Add enough preceding content that the target row approaches a page boundary.

13
00:00:37,974 --> 00:00:41,634
The exact line break depends on your fonts and margins, so

14
00:00:41,634 --> 00:00:44,297
use the visible break as your starting state.

15
00:00:44,897 --> 00:00:48,107
Open File, Page setup, and confirm Pages is selected.

16
00:00:48,107 --> 00:00:52,031
Google's row overflow control is not available in Pageless format.

17
00:00:52,031 --> 00:00:56,668
If you switch formats, scroll through the table again, because pagination may change.

18
00:00:56,668 --> 00:01:00,591
The target row must be close to a page boundary for

19
00:01:00,591 --> 00:01:04,872
this exercise to show a before-and-after difference; otherwise you can

20
00:01:04,872 --> 00:01:08,439
still set the option, but the visual check is weaker.

21
00:01:09,039 --> 00:01:11,344
Select the table row that splits.

22
00:01:11,344 --> 00:01:16,723
Use Format, Table, Table options, or right-click the table and choose Table options.

23
00:01:16,723 --> 00:01:22,103
Under Row, turn off Allow row to overflow across pages, then apply the change.

24
00:01:22,103 --> 00:01:26,714
The wording sounds backward: unchecking overflow is what keeps the row together.

25
00:01:26,714 --> 00:01:30,940
Select the whole affected row rather than clicking an unrelated row

26
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:32,477
in the same table.

27
00:01:33,077 --> 00:01:34,669
Scroll to the page break.

28
00:01:34,669 --> 00:01:38,172
The selected row should begin on a page where its content

29
00:01:38,172 --> 00:01:40,719
can fit, rather than being cut in two.

30
00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:44,222
The preceding rows may leave some blank space at the bottom

31
00:01:44,222 --> 00:01:48,679
of the earlier page; that is a normal tradeoff of keeping this record together.

32
00:01:48,679 --> 00:01:52,182
If your target row still spills, confirm the selected row and

33
00:01:52,182 --> 00:01:54,411
that the document is in Pages format.

34
00:01:55,011 --> 00:02:00,185
A row taller than a full page cannot fit intact on a normal page.

35
00:02:00,185 --> 00:02:03,512
Shorten its notes, split the record deliberately, reduce unnecessary

36
00:02:03,512 --> 00:02:05,729
padding, or revise the page layout.

37
00:02:05,729 --> 00:02:09,795
Do not shrink the font until it is hard to read.

38
00:02:09,795 --> 00:02:14,230
This lesson solves the common near-boundary split, not an oversized record.

39
00:02:14,230 --> 00:02:19,405
Also distinguish row overflow from pinning header rows; the two controls serve different purposes.

40
00:02:20,005 --> 00:02:24,137
Export or download a PDF and inspect the same fictional record,

41
00:02:24,137 --> 00:02:27,143
because that is what someone may actually receive.

42
00:02:27,143 --> 00:02:32,026
Its row label, owner, and notes should appear together on one PDF page.

43
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:37,286
Compare the PDF with the Docs view and confirm the table header remains legible.

44
00:02:37,286 --> 00:02:41,419
If the PDF differs, revisit page setup and the row option

45
00:02:41,419 --> 00:02:42,921
before sharing the file.
