What do you mean by "breaking over a page"?
There are options to use with your printer that might help this situation.
The width of your html page will have influence also.

Is there any correlation between HTML (display) and printing to hard copy?

Specifically. Can I stop cells (of a table) breaking over a page?
 
Hi Jethro,

You'll need to utilize CSS media style sheets or Print Templates (advanced).
 
".........What do you mean by "stop cells (of a table) breaking over a page?
"........"

where the last cell (on paper) is printed in two halves (broken!) - half a
cell on one page and tother half on the next page - doesn't look very nice

it needs to know about 'paper' in order to - keep the cell together on one
page

there's no way to tell frontpage where to place page breaks because they don't
exist - each file/screen is a continuous screen, not like MS Word. IF you need a
printable version, create an ms word document and/or convert an ms word doc to
PDF or some other format that is easily printable.
 
html pages are designed for viewing online, not printing. Frontpage may appear
to be flexible in formating and so on, but all it is doing is generating the
equivalent markup language tags behind the scenes.

You can use stylesheets and whatnot to an extent, but as far as pages and
page-breaks are concerned, frontpage does not have them, in the same sense that
MS Word has pages & page breakes - each html file is one continuous screen.

Your printer would print a certain number of lines, and just 'guess' where to
break the page, there's not way to control things like margins (for purpose of
printing and page set up) and so on.
 
A quick search on Google for "web page breaks" came up with some hits,
