Default Row won't break over pages

Make sure that the table is not inside a frame or text box.

Correction: Since an entire row can move to the following page, this cannot
be the case. :-(

Make sure that the table is not inside a frame or text box. Also, you may
want to try converting the table to text and back, and see if that makes a
difference. If the above does not help, see

Thanks for your swift reply. No I hadn't but I have now. Paragraph
spacing
before/after is headings 3pt/0pt and body text 0pt/0pt, line spacing
Single.
No heading styles, just an emboldened title in the cell. Nothing looks
odd to
me, but that may be the problem!

Did you also check the settings for Spacing Before/After (Format |
Paragraph)?

I'm using WD2003, and I've spent a while reading many of the Word
Table forum
Q&A and Suzanne Barnhill's articles on page breaking, but I have a
table that
does not seem to believe her. Please would someone suggest another
area to
look at?

It started as a form with a table split into five 3-column rows for
Objectives, Dates, and the Achievements of those objectives. If you
put an
entry into an Achievement cell that is long enough to deepen the row
to just
over the available height on the page, the row suddenly bounces to a
new page
leaving previous rows behind. If you really pile on the text it stays
on that
new page and the extra text disappears into the page gap. Removing
text
doesn't put it back until it's nearly all erased.

You can see all text in Normal View, but not in Print Layout View.

Table Properties Table Wrapping = None;
Table Properties Row Allow row to break checked, Specify height
not
checked;
Paragraph format Line & Page Breaks only Widow/Orphan checked;
File Type = Word document (not WD97 etc, I've been caught like that
before!).
