Hi Sam:
If you remove the thing causing the break, the table will simply join itself
to the one before it.
If it is paragraphs, just delete them.
What this produces is two tables stacked together that appear and behave as
one table.
Internally the document gets a bit messy, but if you view or print it you
will never see the difference. However, if you are then going to subject
this document to a lot of editing, you may want to clean it up internally to
avoid future problems.
The best way to do that is to click in the joined table and choose
Table>>Convert>Table to text. Select the option to separate the text with
Tabs. Then without moving the selection choose Table>Convert>Text to Table.
Again, choose to separate with Tabs.
This re-creates the whole thing as a brand new table. You would then have
to reformat it, but internally it is now a single clean structure that will
better survive heavy editing.
Hope this helps

How do you remove existing breaks in a Word table without altering the
content or the structure of the table? In other words, I want to merge the
portion of the table before the break with the portion of the table
following the break, remove the break, and not alter anything else....
