I've created a long ( over 2 pages) table for which, when
I change the orientation to landscape, a page break is
added after the first row. It show both in Normal and
Print Layout View. It disappears when I return it to
Portrait orientation. I can't figure out how to get rid
of the page break (or perhaps it is a section break?).

The table is fairly complex, with some merged cells. A
table in the same document which does not have merged
cells and fits in one page does not add a page break in
Landscape orientation.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I did a search of the MS
Knowledge Base and some of the newsgroups; didn't find
anything that looked like my problem.

Thanks!

Check the rows below the heading row to be sure they are not all formatted
as "Keep with next."

Suzanne,
Thanks, but I don't think that's the issue, although I
can't find anything about "keep with next" in the Word
Help, so I don't really know how to check. I did check
the row properties and it doesn't matter if I
check "allow row to break across pages" or not. Is that
what you meant?
I'm using Word 2000.
As I've been playing with the table, I've tried cutting,
pasting back in, putting it in a dif doc and starting
over; I'm getting different breaking effects in the 2
tables that are affected. In one, the break is now just
BEFORE the first row; if I "insert new row above" the
first row, the page break is still just above the new top
row. In the other affected table, the break is after row
2.
Any more ideas???

Thanks!

Select all the text in the table. Go to Format | Paragraph. On the Line and
Page breaks tab, clear the box for "Keep with next."
