Suzanne, I owe you an apology. You were indeed correct. I tried removing
those few "Keep With Next" tags that I assumed were inoffensive--which is
what I should have done before I replied to your post. I couldn't see why
they should have had an effect, so I assumed . . . I am reminded now of
what
happens when one assumes (now THAT should have been obvious). I don't
understand why these things affected pagination where they were placed,
but
removing them fixes the problem. Sorry for replying without verifying
first.

No. I had already checked that. As a double-check, I just did a Search
for
all instances of the Keep With Next format tag, beginning with the first
entry in the letter L. There are only a few. They are used correctly, and
they are not used in the questionable rows, or before or after those
rows.
I'm pretty sure I've checked all the obvious possibilities. I've also
searched the Microsoft discussion forums and done Google searches for
anything relevant to my problem. Whatever I'm looking for is not obvious.
(By
the way, I've been using Word for 16 years.)

Best guess is that too many rows are formatted as "Keep with next."

I'm using Word 2003 tables as an address book. Each letter of the
alphabet
is
a separate table. All tables have identical properties. It was
working
fine,
and still is, except for some entries in the letter L. Several
entries are
triggering a premature automatic page break (I can see the break in
Normal
view). The first two pages worth of entries break correctly. Then, in
one
instance, half the page after a break is blank. In another instance,
more
than 2/3 of the page after a break is blank. I've tried looking at
the
table
properties, paragraph properties in the cells, looking for formatting
differences in the rows, even searching for Page Break Before tags in
the
entire document, but I haven't been able to figure out or fix what's
happening. Any ideas?
