"Keep with next" works with table cells, too. If your table is four rows
and one rolls to the next page, then marking the first three "keep with
next" will glue them together and roll them to the next page.

Subject: Short Word table problem

Please note: This does NOT have to do with the "Allow row to break across
pages" command in the row tab of the Table Properties window. That option
will not solve this problem.
OK, read on:
I have a document that uses a lot of tables. Because some of the data
messages it documents are short, some tables have only 3 or 4 rows.
Therefore, some pages contain several tables, and the final table may split
with, say, one row at the bottom of one page and three at the top of the
following page. I would prefer to keep these short tables intact and have
them jump to the top of the following page.
In other words, I'm looking for widow and orphan control for table rows.
The "allow row to break across pages" option simply controls whether a deep
row is permitted to break. It doesn't control whether Word breaks a table
*between* rows, which is what I'm trying to prevent.
As always, I'm trying to avoid putting in manual page breaks. I can select
"Keep with next" for the preceding paragraphs, but I can't control Word's
splitting the table.
Unless I can, because one of you Word gurus out there knows what I should
do. Any suggestions?
