I do not want my table to break across a page randomly.

I have created a quite large table that is a series of inspection questions.
these questions are grouped with auditors comments and with a response
section.

I DO NOT want the group of 'question/comments/response' to break across a
page.

I want the page to break between the the groups.

any help out there?

If you really want to split the table, you can do that, formatting the
intervening paragraph to a very small font size/line spacing, but I don't
see why you can't split the groups without splitting the table. If you
format the first row in a section as "Page break before," it will start a
new page without splitting the table.

Okay, there are two ways to approach this:

1. Put each three-line section in a single row, and clear the check box for
"Allow row to break across pages" for all rows.

2. Put each line in a separate row. Select the first two rows of each
three-line section and format them as "Keep with next." This will keep each
section together and force Word to break the table between sections.

The easiest way to accomplish (2) is to have three distinct styles:
Question, Comment, and Response. Question and Comment would be formatted as
"Keep with next," while Response would not.
