rows do not break across pages

L

I have a word 2003 file. The table rows won't break across pages when I open
it in Word 2000. I've tried everything in the table properties dialog/format
paragraph menu (checking and unchecking everything) I have also tried
saving the original file to previous Word versions and rtf format.

The table has 2 rows and 4 columns, and lots of multilevel bulleted lists
within it's cells

I thing I've noticed is that the table is inserted into the header part of
the document, I have to tried cut and paste it out of the header section and
into the main document to no avail - it just goes back into the header. The
table also has a updateable field marked 'private' in the first cell and in
other parts of the document

Please note: I did not create the file and cannot post the file as it is of
a confidential nature. Any help would truly be appreciated as I am stuck
with this one...

On the Table tab of Table Properties, make sure the wrapping is set to None.

Also make sure that some table rows are *not* set to fixed heights
(Table | Table Properties, Row tab), since this will prevent these
rows from breaking across pages.
