How do I insert a page break inside of a table in MS Word 2003?

[Guest]

In the previous version of MS Word we formatted our tables by using Format >
Paragraph > Line and Page Breaks and checked the Page break before box. This
no longer works. Other break types move the entire table to the next page.

It works if you apply that formatting to the first paragraph in the first
cell in the row.

It has worked for me in every version of Word and still works for me in Word
2003.

Yes, it does work there. It does not work if I have 5 lines in the table I
want on the first page and the rest of the table on the second page. It
always moves the whole table to the second page as you've said.

Suzanne, does it work for you if you want to have a certain number of lines /
cells on the first page with 'Page break before' and the rest of the lines /
cells on the next page?

When I apply "Page break before" to a row, Word always breaks the table
above that point. I'm not sure what you're doing, but it sounds possibly
different. If you want five rows on one page and the rest on the next, you
should be applying "Page break before" to the sixth row.
