how do I keep text in a table together across pages in word 2007?

[PRC]

I have a table with text and lines for signatures and the end of a document.
Some contents on the document are dynamic, making the place where the page
break happens unpredictable. Beacuse of that, sometimes half the signatures
table is at the bottom of a page and the other half at the top of the next
page. I need to be able to keep all the lines of that table for the
signatures together. I tried the Paragraph option "Keep lines together" but
that didn't do it.
Any suggestions are welcome.

That was the wrong one of the two similar choices. You want "Keep with next"
on the last (or only) paragraph of each row to prevent a page break between
rows. Also select the whole table, go to Table > Table Properties > Row and
uncheck the box for "Allow row to break across pages" to prevent page breaks
within the rows.
