Default is there a way to keep multiple table rows together?

I have exported information to Excel and copied into a Word table. Is there
a way to keep multiple rows in the table together so that when I sort them,
they stay together? (Not all rows have information in them but need to stay
with the first row of that specific information.)

Yes, you can select only those rows in a column(s) you want to sort and then
using the Sort command under the Table menu, you can select the sorting order
under Sort by and Then by..

Note: You may have to repeat this operation several time in your table.

Your question is not clear. You say you are exporting information to Excel.
Where is the source information initially created? Then why are you coping it
to Word?

The information was exported from FileMaker Pro and I saved it as ".tab"
format. This seems to work better than .slk from my experience. The other
issue is that some of the rows exported do not have information in them but
are related to other rows.
