Default Table Alignment

If you don't want a row to break across pages, then you clear the check box.
If you don't allow *any* rows to break, and some rows are quite deep, then
you will notice many differences in pagination, especially if you have also
formatted some rows as "Keep with next."

I tried your suggestion, but it did not fix the problem. When the document
repaginated it pushed every thing down about a third of a page. Do you
have
any other suggestions? Please help. Thanks

The check box for "Allow rows to break across pages" is on the Row tab of
Table Properties. There are many Compatibility Options relating to
tables,
but you are generally best served by leaving those settings at the
default
for the version you're using. For more on table flow, see

Thanks, for your help.

I could not find the "Allow rows to break across pages" option, but I
think
I am at least headed in the right direction. I did find the "Dont break
constrained table forced on page" and "Allow table rows to lay out
apart"
would either of these help. Where can I find a explanation of the
advanced
options. May be that would help me choose the ones that would fix my
problem. I will keep looking, but if you could help I would appriciate
it.

Thanks again

"Keep lines together" and "Keep with next" have no effect within table
cells. "Keep with next" does operate between table rows. The only way
to
keep table rows from breaking is to disable the check box for "Allow
rows
to
break across pages." When that option is enabled, there is no way to
influence how Word breaks the row.

You could set the paragraph style(s) used in the table to "Keep Lines
Together." This should stop rows from breaking across pages. (Unless a
cell can contain more than one paragraph.)

I am creating multiple pages document (some time in excess of 100

which is an ongoing table. It has a header and a footer and it is
set
up
so

required
I add new rows to the table and then line up the rows so that one
ends
at
the
bottom of the page and the next on the next page right under the
repeating
row. I have used this document for years in Word 2003. Recently my
company
went to Word 2007 and now when the document repaginates, or
sometimes
when
a
new line is added to the header it periodically readjust adding
lines
or
taking away lines in the rows. Thsi cause a row to be divided
between
the
previous page and the current page and sometime information is lost
betweent
the two pages. I have tried to stop repagination, but since it only
works
in
draft when I print it knocks everything off. Please help.

Thanks
