I am working on document that ought to only be two pages, but it always
prints as three because, the text in one row is quite voluminous. In the
table option, I have check the box for "allow row to break across pages," but
despite this, on page 1, there are two skinny rows and then a huge blank gap
on the page, page 2 is completely full, and page three has a little text in
one or two skinny rows. Can I force the table to break in mid-row and fully
use the entire sheet of paper, thereby turning a 3 page document into a 2
page one? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure that no row has the "Keep with next" option selected (in
Format | Paragraph) and that no row has an exact height (in Table |
Table Properties, Row tab).

Thanks for your reply Stefan. I checked and neither of these are factors.
The Keep with next is not checked nor is the row height specified.
However, your idea gave me another, and I added the requirement, "keep with
next," in the first few lines and that forced the following to stay with the
previous. The only problem I see is that this is a kind of template that
applies to many different reports and the width of the rows vary from report
to report. So I may have to be constantly checking and manually inserting
where the lines should or should not stay together.
There has been some progress.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks, but the text wrapping is set to none. So Still, the table doesn't
break the way I'd like. Thanks anyway.

I'm not sure what the text wrapping has to do with it; that article was
written before wrapped tables were even possible.
