Default Creating a Table Split across two Pages

I have been having trouble with importing / creating large tables in Word
2003. The table will initially split a row across two pages, however when I
add text to the document (above the table, or within table cells), it becomes
confined to a single page, and despite the "TableTable PropertiesRowallow
row to break across pages" checkbox being checked. Word does not shrink the
table to fit the page, simply not printing any cells falling outside the
printable area of the single page which contains the table anchor.

Are there any additional functions / options / defaults that can be changed
to allow tables to behave as they did in word '97?

I suspect that you are working in Print Layout view and accidentally touched
the table handle, nudging the table slightly and causing it to become
wrapped. Go to the Table tab of Table Properties and set wrapping to None.
