Well, I doubt that Billg had any fingers in that pie directly, but I agree
about the logic and the unfortunateness of it!

Thanks. That's perfectly logical, now that I think of it. I have puzzled
about it on a number of occasions and wondered "why on earth would Bill
Gates
do it this way?" - but I have to reluctantly concede that it makes sense.
Thanks for the explanation.

Unfortunately, no. Once you allow Word to break a row, it can break it
where
it likes. Neither "Keep with next" nor "Keep lines together" has any
effect
within a row (though KWN can be used between rows). The reason for this
is
that text in cells in the same row might have paragraph breaks at
different
points, and keeping one paragraph together might require breaking
another.

Is there any way to get "Keep lines together" to work in a table?
I'm familiar with the Table Property "Allow row to break across pages"
but
that doesn't do what I need. I have text in table cells that may
consist
of
many small paragraphs. I'm trying to make sure that there's no break
within
the paragraph, although I'm wiling to have breaks between pargraphs.
I'm using Word 2003.
Any suggestions?
