Default Table breaks accross two pages - even though it is instructed

This is a poor solution. It may work fine for tables with a fixed number of
rows. But when you have a table tied to a database, the number of lines can
vary when you refresh.

If the the number of rows increases after an update, the new rows adopt the
formatting on the last line, which does not have the "Keep With Next" tag.

If the number of rows decrease after a database update, the formatting on
the unique last row is lost and all take on the "Keep With Next" tag.

My suggestion is that tables need their own special set of formatting
commands, so that it is a bit more intuitive and so that it works properly
without extra intervention for users that try to link to databases (a very
powerful feature BTW).
