Default A row breaks in the middle of the table

Hi ?B?TWFyayBEYXZpbGE=?=,

Here's one of my "favorites." My document has lots and lots of tables.
Occasionally, I'll have one that breaks in the middle. But it's not breaking
over a page. (I've already tried, Table/row/allow rows to break across
pages) Instead, it's breaking at a middle row and displaying (in print
layout and print preview) it as two different tables, one above the other.
Interestingly, the table displays as it should in Outline view. And if I
copy the table to a new document, it copies fine - as one table instead of
two.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Well, my first thought is that you perhaps have a graphical object of some kind,
probably anchored outside the table (so it's not getting copied), that might be
causing this? If you click the big white arrow in the Drawing toolbar, then drag
from the left edge of the page, diagonally to the right edge, over the entire
table, does anything with "white handles" show up?
