Cells in Table Splits

[Martha Bowes]

I have a table with two cells, the top row being a heading row, and lots of
text in the bottom row. When I inserted the text into the cell, it spanned
more than one page, so the bottom row begins toward the end of a page, and
goes into the next. The problem is the last five lines appear in a
mysterious row I did not add, with a slight space between it and the second
row. And, although I set it not to show borders (using shading only), there
is now a border just down the left and bottom sides of the second row.

I have it on Autofit.

Is there a limit to the size of cell you can have? I didn't see where I
could make it longer.

Any thoughts?
