Default Widowed line in a table

I have a fully justified paragraph in a cell. The last line of that
paragraph now sits alone at the top of the next page. This is called a
widowed line and it's unprofessional looking. If I do a "keep together", the
whole paragraph goes onto the next page which I don't want. I only want the
last two lines of the paragraph to go onto the top of the next page. (In
Wordperfect, you would use a "block protect" and it would keep the last 2
lines together. Word doesn't have that feature.) If I use a return to break
the paragraph so that the last 2 lines are on the next page, then that last
line won't be fully justified (and I will have turned that paragraph into 2
paragraphs, which I don't want).

So how can I make sure there are no widowed lines in a table?
