After creating a table spanning several pages (by adding rows as I needed
them), I decided to create a second table of the same layout, so I copied the
table, pasted it into a new document of the same page layout, and then
deleted the contents of the cells, giving me a table identical to the first
but blank. What I have found, however, are what appear to be unwanted page
breaks within the second table - five or six rows on one page, a large space
afterwards, and then perhaps 20 or so rows on the next. In Normal view these
appear as dotted lines running the width of the document. I have tried to
select the page breaks in Normal view, to delete them, but I cannot. I should
add that I did not insert manual page breaks in the document containing the
original table. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks.

The most likely cause is a Page Break Before setting in the paragraph
properties of one or more of the cells in the row that follows a page break.
