How do i stop cells breaking over a page?

I've written some manuals in M.S. Word and it has a feature to stop table
rows breaking over pages (if the last one doesn't fit, it starts on new
page)

I want to convert them to html.

Is there anyway to stop table cells breaking over page?

No. There are some CSS2 features that might do this, but they are poorly
supported at this time.

i was wondering whether i might get away by creating a fix size (A4) table
containing variable size cells, and copy pasting cell by cell

A/ Can i do this?

B/ Do you think it's the best option? - considering i have a lot to to do

I think this would be the HTML equivalent of bamboo spikes under the
fingernails. Just imagine what happens to all your tedious work when I
resize my browser's display of text.

I think there is no really good option for you other than to produce a
series of pages that have short tables on them, and then direct visitors to
print them one at a time.

Maybe I don't understand the question, but in an html document, the page
will be as long and as wide as your table. There is no fixed length or width
for pages. That is determined by the size of the table your put your
elements into.
