Click in each paragraph in the affected cells (one at a time) and go to
Format | Paragraph. On the Line and Page Breaks tab, make sure "Keep with
next" is not checked.

I am having a similar problem. How do I verify that the text is not
formatted
as "keep with next?"

Thanks, Hélène,

But that box is already checked... defaults that way, I think. I even
tried
unchecking the box and the rechecking it again... no dice. I have to
split
the table manually to fit as many cells on one page as I can, then
live
with
the white space on the previous page. Something here is different
than
with
Office 2000.
