tables & page breaks

[cmore]

i have a table that contains 5 columns and 1 row which then splits to 3 rows
-- how do i get it to page break correctly & get the title within the 1st
column/row?

Where do you want it to break, and what do you mean by correctly? I had
trouble understanding the table structure in your question. Is this an
accurate description. Each major row has x cells, with the last split into
three rows.

i have created a table that has 5 columns with 1 major row that splits into 3
rows
see below example --

(Cols)=> 1 2 3 4 5
A1 XXX XXX XXX
XX name A2 XXX XXX XXX
A3 XXX XXX XXX

Issue: if info added creates 2 page then get incorrect page break???
Now i did go to 'Table', 'Table Properties', 'Row' & unchecked 'Allow row to
break across pages' which forward to the next page properly --- but I CANT
get it to also forward the main title with Col/Row 1 -- so viewer can't see
that the info in A3 works with 'XX name'.

Does that make sense ?

Thank you !!!

It would probably be more accurate to say that you have three rows in which
the cells in the first column have been merged (this would be a more
efficient way to create this type of table, at least).

Yes, but I'd call your "title row" the "table heading" row. The way to make
sure the heading row stays with the rest of the table is to mark the whole
row "keep with next" paragraph formatting.
