Default Tables won't break across pages.

This may sound crazy, but I had a similar problem one time and I decided to
try to see if it had something to do with the header. I had an object placed
in the header and changed the layout from square to in line with text and for
some reason the table in the document was now working. Just the other day I
had a problem with a table and had to change the header object from in line
with text to square to get it to work. Makes no sense, but it worked.

I've followed all the suggestions in this thread, and I'm still having
problems with my document. I cannot break the rows of my table over pages.
Any other suggestions?

Make sure that the table wrapping is set to None (Table tab of Table

I've had the same problem and none of the things mentioned in these

postings
applied to my setup. More suggestions please!

appeared to do the trick. I don't know if it will work every time, but

will
give it a go.

I have tried everyone's suggestions about making sure the cells/ rows

linked with next, and the box is checked in the tables tab, but my row

won't split. Any other suggestions? My table is only on column wide.

I
have also selected the whole document to turn off the check box.

Help?

Boy,

Do I ever feel the dummy. I was using tables to create a running

2-column
page, with text entered in the right column, and only brief
headings/annotations in the left. Well, well, lo and behold, it

was cells
in
the left column that were marked 'keep with next.' I must have

done that
once for some reason, then when I copied and pasted parts of the

table
(including lots of empty cells for later writing) the formatting
'multiplied.'

I will sit in the corner for a while.
