Default Keeping A Table Together, Suzanne's Method Not Working

I've read and followed Suzanne Barnhill's instructions posted on Word MVPs,
but my tables still break. I selected the table, turned off the allow breaks
optin in the row tab, made sure every style used within the table was set to
keep with next (all formatting in my doc is applied with style sheets, is
that a problem?) I'm using Word 2003. Am I doing something wrong or is this
method not 100% reliable?

Default Keeping A Table Together, Suzanne's Method Not Working

I have solved my own problem. I had all headings above the table (the
document is just headings and tables) set to Keep With Next, thereby
creating a long unbreakable mass throughout the document, which I guess makes
Word override and break where it wants. I changed the headings to force just
the one above the table to keep with next and all seems to work now. Thanks,
Suzanne.

Yeah, I was going to say that if the table is longer than one page, there's
no way Word can keep it all together, and having a lot of KWN headings above
would amount to the same thing. Sooner or later, something's gotta give!
