You can prevent the row from breaking and keep the whole paragraph together
(note that "Keep lines together" will *not* do this). You could insert a
line break *and* a paragraph break, which would justify your last line, but
this can cause problems if the table reflows and you end up with a line's
space in the middle of your paragraph. It is not at all satisfactory, but
that's the way it is with current versions of Word, unfortunately.

Sorry... so are you telling me that there is nothing I can do but leave
that
widowed line where it is????

Do you know of any "work-arounds"??

Nope, once you have allowed the row to break, you've given Word carte
blanche. Neither "Widow/orphan control" nor "Keep lines together" has
any
effect in a table cell, and "Keep with next" operates only between rows.

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?
