I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're doing, but if you're trying
to make text before and after a table stay with it, then perhaps you need to
use "Keep with next." You might see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...bleOn1Page.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInTables.htm. But if your
table is wrapped, then different issues arise.

I never said that I was using a section break to split the table for a
heading. I said that I had used a section break to make the begining of
the
table move back up to the page I wanted it started on (the page which has
the
first row of the table). I am not talking about Page Headers as this
document
does not have any of them (although it does have footers, but that's not
part
of this discussion).
Agian, the issue is that, in the middle of a page after making a new
heading
(the words not in the table but that come before the table starts, and
after
the last table, and says what the table is), Word keeps the first line of
the
table then moves the rest of the table to the next page. If I use a
continuous break in the table (a somewhat tedious process to find the
correct
cell to do that in) it will make the portion of the table before that
break
move back up to the starting page.
Thank you for your input.

Well, for one thing you shouldn't have to insert a section break just to
split the table for a heading. And if you're truly inserting a
"heading,"
this should be at a logical break, not a space/length-dependent one. Are
you
perhaps talking about a page header? If so, see

I am modifying a document that has many pages and a table that runs
through
all pages. In table properties the text wrapping is off so it will
"break"
automatically at the end of a page. The issue I'm having is that when
I
have
to separate the table to create another heading Word keeps the first
line
(which is formatted to continue at the top of all pages) on the page I
want
the table to start but then moves the next line of the table to the
next
page
leaving half a page blank. I've used a continuous break and this seems
to
work but is a lot of extra work to find the correct cell that will
fill up
the page. Is there an easier more consistant way to keep the table on
the
page I want it???
Thank you for your help
