Keep with Next in Tables

[scrmemphis]

Need help.

"Keep with Next" is not working within a table. Same text copied to a
new document outside a table does as advertised. When placed back in
the table again, the functionality doesn't work.

Using Word 2002.

Any help would be appreciated!

That's odd. By design (but not a very good design...) the "Keep together"
option doesn't work in tables, but "Keep with next" is supposed to work. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/KeepTableOn1Page.htm.

There may be something else interfering -- for example, if enough
consecutive paragraphs have KWN turned on, Word will force a page break
before the first one.

"Keep with next" operates only between rows in a table, not within a cell.
Once you have given Word permission to split a row, it can split it anywhere
it likes. Also, to ensure that "Keep with next" works between rows, it's
helpful to select the entire row and apply the property to all the
cells/paragraphs.

If you copy the text to the table, the Keep with Next may not tag along.
Try applying Keep With Next to the entire table row after the text has
been pasted.
