I would like to know how to prevent the table cells (rows) to jump to the next page when filling them up with text i.e. I want to have a long continuing text in a cell but I still want the tables to fill up the pages. I dont like to have a big space on the previous page just because the text in the next cell is very long.
You try to break down your text into minor chunks, and have each of these occupy several rows. With a bit of tweaking with spaces it can look OK, but ....
What you want is to allow table rows to split across pages, and Frame
won't do this. Neither will any other desktop publishing program I know
of. Word can do this.

The trick many use to work around this problem is to split tall rows into separate rows, then apply the "None" border between those rows.
If the content falls within a page boundary, it appears as a single tall row. If some part of the content falls on a page boundary, the invisible inter-row borders allow the content to split across pages.
It takes a few minutes to set up, but otherwise works pretty well...
