Default table problem

I have a table from a user that is not behaving properly!
The information is extending into a "no man's land" past the footer area and
never prints...and does not break to the next page.
What is going on and how do I fix it??

Default table problem

There are other tables in this same document when the text extends beyond
the bottom margin the page breaks and the text continutes.
This one seems to be extending down but off the page!
This causes some of the text to get mingled in with the footer information.
The worst part though is the rest of the text simply does not PRINT!!

Another issue could be that the table is wrapped. Depending on version and
Compatibility Options settings, wrapped tables may not be allowed to break
to the next page. If you go to the Table tab of Table Properties and make
sure that text wrapping is set to None, this problem will be solved.

You might want to check the Allow Row to Break Across Pages option.

Default table problem

Thank you all for your incredible help on this one.
It was the Allow row to break across margin check box.
I'm not sure how ONE row ended up being UNchecked though!
Is it maybe another Top Secret Easter edd left by Mr. Gates to make us all
crazy?!

Thank you all!!
