Default Keep table from breaking across columns

I have a two colum document that I have added text and tables using vba, if a
table is added close to the bottom of column 1 then the rest of the table
shows at the top of column 2 - is there any way to have word keep the table
together at the top of column 2?

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Jerry, select the entire table, hit Table--Properties, go to the Row tab
and UNcheck "allow row to break..."

That will help, but it's also important to mark each cell *except the ones
in the last row* with "Keep with next".

This is the same issue as the one discussed in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...bleOn1Page.htm, which applies to
breaking across columns just like breaking across pages.
