How do I keep an entire table together? in Word Tables    |   |  Help   Search For:     In:   Office   Word     Word General Questions     Word New Users     Word Application Errors     Word Drawing and Graphics     Word Mailmerge and Fax     Word Page Layout     Word Programming     Word Tables              JSF 3/1/2006 6:25 PM PST   Question   Whenever I add rows to a table, which forces part of the table to the following page, I can't keep the entire table together. I'd like the entire table to move to the next page automatically. I've tried the Keep Lines Together, Keep with Next, played with the Allow Row to Break features, but I must not be getting the combinations put together correctly. Help!

I actually mucked around with the settings and was able to finally make it work after trying many combination of settings.

After I posted my message, I played around with my tables and all sorts of scenarios and was able to get the table to stick together, just as your article instructed. I spent a lot of time on it--should've just waited for replies! "Suzanne S.
