I have table which has 20 rows:

First 3 rows are on one page, then half of the page is blank hen remaining 17 rows are on second page.

How can I keep table from breaking rows. I want all rows in table to follow one another.

Please help. Thanks.

    The Keep With settings are found in Table > Format > Row Format...

    Note: the first row on the second page may also have a Start setting that tells it to be at the top of a page or column.

    The Widow/Orphan control just specifies how many rows to keep together (widow is the first page; orphan is the second page) when a table needs to split across a page. The higher the number, the more rows are forced to stay together.

    Check if you have keep with settings applied on your rows.

    Do you have any cell spans going in a column? This will also affect where FM can break rows when a table splits across text frames.

    Hello, Thank for your response.

    I do have simple table, with only 2 columns and no cell is split or straddle.

    How can I check or where can I find "Keep with" settings for the Table Row???

    I am playing around with Orphans Rows, it gives me mixed results (my understanding is quiet limited on how Orphan Rows work).
