WD97: "Keep Lines Together" Has No Effect in Tables

SYMPTOMS

Keep Lines Together paragraph formatting does not work for paragraphs within a table if "Allow Row to Break Across Pages" is also selected.

NOTE: To locate the "Allow Row to Break Across Pages" option, choose Cell Height And Width from the Table menu.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, remove the "Allow row to break across pages" option for either the specific table row or the entire table. To do this, follow these steps:

1. With the insertion point inside the table, click Select Table on the Table menu.
2. On the Table menu, click Cell Height And Width, and click the Row tab.
3. Click to clear the "Allow row to break across pages" check box.
