Don't break rows across pages

S

Simon Kissane

Hi

In word, you can set a row not to break across pages. (We are using
Word XP).

Our problem is as follows:
Each row consists of six columns, followed by two columns.
In the last two columns, the row is subdivided into one or more
subrows.
Or, in other words, what we actually have is several rows which are
merged together (rowspan) in the first six columns which are separated
in the last two.

Now, when I mark the rows not to break across pages, it only inteprets
this to apply to the individual rows, not the merged rows. As a result,
the row-spanning cells do break across pages.

I know this sounds kind of complicated, but here is an example here:

Anyone know of any way to fix this?
Would upgrading to Word 2003 help?
Is there any VBA, etc., that might help?

Are we using the wrong program altogether?
(We use QuarkXpress for most of this stuff, but for this table we use
word -- because if you think Word's table-handling is bad, Quark 5's is
absolutely atrocious...)

Cheers
