Default Tables won't break across pages.

I have tried everyone's suggestions about making sure the cells/ rows are not
linked with next, and the box is checked in the tables tab, but my row still
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.

I appear to have solved my own problem and thought I'd share with others if
they get stuck. I removed the check box for Specified row height and that
appeared to do the trick. I don't know if it will work every time, but will
give it a go.

I've had the same problem and none of the things mentioned in these postings
applied to my setup. More suggestions please!

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

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?

I tried all the suggestions, still my table rows don't break across pages.
It does, when I remove the page footer (text). Can any one help, please?

If you like, send me the problem document (with a problem description), and
I'll take a look.

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.
