Keeping tables from cascading to next page

[Wordguy1000]

I have a huge document that was OCRed into RTF documents and are now Word
docs. It includes more than 120 tables. But I can never find the tables'
bottom borders. I have seen this problem in both Word 2000 and Word 2007.Can
anyone tell me how to fix things so that all the tables stay on one page and
show bottom borders? Thanks.

Will an entire table fit on one page? If so then select all rows for the
table except for the last row, and on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group,
click the dialog box launcher to open the Paragraph dialog box. On the Line
and Page Breaks tab, select "Keep with next".

If they won't fit then perhaps what you want is to keep the entire row on
the same page? If so, select the row or rows and on the contextual Layout
tab for Table Tools, click Properties. On the Row tab, deselect the option
"Allow to break across pages".

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.
