Default Three-column table on two-column page won't balance correctly

"Keep with next" works perfectly with me.


It works for a specific situation, but has a tendency to come back and
bite you later when you've added or deleted rows elsewhere and now you
don't want those two rows to stay together.

It is *not* a good general solution.

You can apply "Keep with next" to rows to force them into the second column.


That should work, but it's inconvenient and error-prone and shouldn't
be necessary.

Also, Word may have inserted an empty paragraph between the table and the
Continuous break. This can be deleted.


Nope, no extra paragraph.

I guess it's just another Word buglet. Has the counter exceeded the
capacity of a 4-byte integer field (yet)?
