You can use a macro:

Sub AllTables_NoBreak()
Dim oTable As Table

For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
oTable.Rows.AllowBreakAcrossPages = False
Next oTable

MsgBox "Finished."
End Sub

If you need help on installing a macro, see:

I am using Word 2007, and wish to prevent rows breaking in every table in a
document. Trouble is, if I select the entire document, I cannot get to the
Table Properties button. Must I adjust the properties of each table
individually?

Using W2007.

It didn't take as long as I thought to select all the rows.
I'd had trouble selecting the entire table & still getting the "table
properties" menu choice. I *think* I've got that figured out now too

After selecting all the rows, I don't see a "properties" choice on the table
layout ribbon you mention but was able to get to the table properties on the
right-click menu.

What am I missing? Oh -- it's in the "Layout" tab of Table Tools, I'd missed
it when just looking at Design.

I just don't think "rightly" when it comes to how MS thinks I ought to for
finding things.

Is there a way to format the whole table so that rows don't split across

TIA.

Select all the rows of the table. Go to Table Table Properties (or
in Word 2007, click the Properties button on the Table Layout ribbon),
click the Row tab, and uncheck the box for "Allow row to break across
pages".
