Yes I have tried all the options.
I set the option not to let rows break across pages
And I set the option to keep with next and keep lines together/
Then I set the reverse
Cleared not let rows break across pages
Cleared options to keep with next and keep lines together
Then I checked not to let rows break and cleared keep lines together and next
Then I cleared not to let rows break , and checked keeped lines together
and next.

I have also tried copying a table from a previous page which is okay on
that page, but on the page I am having problems with, it had the same
problems.

In addition, often I can't get the cursor out of the table.

Thanks for any help.
But nothing seems to work.

Hi ?B?UG9yZ3k=?=,

I am doing a Word 2003 document which contains a lot of tables that contain
nested tables .
Each table (which have the nested tables inside) is separated by various
paragraphs.
Everything was fine until page 8 of my document then suddenly, everytime I
pasted in a new table containing nested tables, , the whole paragraph slipped
down to the next page, leaving a large space in the preceding page. The
table would either separate their rows, or the back space just would not work
to get the table back to the proper positon.
I have tried pasting and inserting my document as a new file, deleting some
of the preceding tables incase there was some kind of formatting error.. But
nothing has worked. I don't know what to do.

Have you set the option to not let rows break across pages? And do the
paragraphs around and in the tables have the formatting "Keep with next" and
"Keep lines together". That combination could account for what you describe.
