Default How to add space between table row and footer

As Lene suggests, it sounds as if you need more space between the bottom
margin and the footer margin. Keep in mind that a header or footer that is
deeper than the space between the header/footer margin and the top/bottom
margin will push down/up into the document body. If you don't want to change
the bottom margin, you can still create some "breathing room" by adding
Space Before to the header paragraph.

The file is landscape. The table with a single row is set to break across
pages, and the footer size cannot be changed. The problem is that the

footer
is too close to where the table breaks at the bottom of each page.

Changing
the page layout doesn't help. Resizing the table adjusts it left to right

but
not top to bottom. Adding space to the row "options" (between the row text
and the border) doesn't help since it's one large row that breaks across

many
pages. The client does not want the text broken into multiple rows. The

only
other option I see is to add manual line breaks and choose where the text
breaks on each page, but this is time consuming. Any other suggestions?
Thanks so much!
