Keeping Tables and text together (widow/orphan)

[Rod Whiteley]

I understand that I can keep the rows of a table from
splitting across page breaks (Click the table. On the
Table menu, click Table Properties, and then click the
Row tab. Clear the Allow row to break across pages check
box.)
What I want to know is how do I keep the explanatory text
for the table (The table's 'Figure text') from spilling
over (orphan style) to the following page?
I realise that I can manually place page breaks, and
insert <return> characters, but this makes things very
fiddly when the document starts to get quite long.

Thanks in advance,
Rod
