Default table row breaks

You are correct in turning off the "allow rows to break across pages" but
also you will need to use the Paragraph format of Keep With Next on the text
in the first column(s) to keep these rows together.
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInTables.htm for
further information.
Hope this helps

All -

I have a table that I am copying from excel into word. The table has
vertically merged cells, along side un-merged cells. For example:

______________________________
|vertically merged |____________|
|cells... |____________|
|________________|____________|

I don't want the table to break across pages within the vertically merged
cells. When i uncheck "Allow Row to Break Across pages" this seems to stop
the unmerged cells from breaking, but does not stop the merged cells from
breaking...in other words, in the example above, i might get "vertically
merged" on one page and "cells..." on the next...while if that same text was
in an unmerged cell, it would not span multiple pages.

Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? Anything would be
appreciated. Thanks a lot.
