I have a table that I would like to prevent from spanning across pages. I
created the following macro.

Dim aTable As Table
For Each aTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
aTable.Select
aTable.AllowPageBreaks = False
Next aTable

This works when the document is open, but if you save the document and
open it again, the table is once again spanning multiple pages.

Any thoughts or ideas.
Thanks

A bit confused here. If the table is spanning multiple pages, then doesn't
it NEED to flow? Are you referring to keeping each ROW from splitting across
a page but letting the table continue on as needed?

If so, then try this: aTable.Rows.AllowBreakAcrossPages = False

Just a point of clarification, I do not want the table to break across pages.
It is a short table that can and must fit on a single page.

Then, there must be some hidden codes or something that is causing it to
break across the page. If it doesn't contain any confidential information,
I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. If so, send it to (collapse the
spaces, and reverse it, of course) c o x . n e t @ z i v d

Set the KeepWithNext property of every paragraph within the table to be
True.
