Table Will Not Break Across Pages

[vsingler]

We're working with a document from another office that
contains a number of separate tables within it and only
one of the tables will not break across pages. The header
row remains on one page, while the second row, containing
the bulk of the text, moves to another page, then breaks
across the pages. The rest of the tables break as they
should.

I've checked the table properties of our problem child and
checked the box that will allow the rows to break and made
sure the wrapping is turned off. I've tried turning the
paragraph properties on and off within the table. I've
also tried copying and pasting just the table into a new
document. It's fine by itself, but as soon as the
surrounding tables and text are copied back it, the table
resumes its old behavior.

Can someone give me an idea as to where to look or try
next to alleviate the problem?

Thank you for your help.

Make sure that none of the text in the table is formatted as "Keep with
next" (look at each paragraph separately) and that the table is not wrapped
(make sure that "Text wrapping" is set to None on the Table tab of Table
Properties.

Thank you for your help, Suzanne. You confirmed that I was
going in the right direction. I just needed to go a step
farther.
