how to stop table rows moving page?

[Bill Wonders]

Word 2003 SP2
I have a table on page one, when adding rows to the table it moves ALL rows
to page 2 when I reach the bottom of the page instead of leaving complete
rows on page one and starting a new row on page 2. When I get to the bottom
of page 2 (still in the same table) it does not attempt to move all rows, but
behaves correctly and only moves the current incomplete row.
How do I get word to nehave correctly on page 1 as it does on page 2?
I have text-wrapping turned off.
Allow row to break across page is off, but I get the same result if its
turned on.

Select rows and make sure that "Keep with next" and "Page break
before" are both cleared, on the Line and Page Breaks of
Format>Paragraph.

Also, you may want to select rows and verify that they don't have a
fixed height set: On the Table menu, click Table Properties. Click the
Row tab. Clear the "Specify height" option. Click OK.

Thanks Stefan, this has solved the problem. Brilliant.

Glad I could help.

I'll just add that "Keep with next" and "Page break before" can
sometimes be useful. For example, applying "Keep with next" to the
heading row of a table prevents it from being the only table row (at
the end of) a page. The options can also help you control page breaks
in tables. For more on this, see
