How do you keep rows headed by merged cells together?

Post by New Daddy »

In a table with merged cells in the front of a row, how do you keep two rows from breaking into different pages?

In the attached screenshot, for example, I'd like to keep rows C,D and E,F on the same page.
I've applied "keep with next" properties to both paragraph C and D, but it doesn't work.

Have you tried applying 'Keep with next' to paragraph A or B?

I just created a table that looks like that. I selected cells A, B, C, D, E and F and set the Keep with Next paragraph format. The cells then all broke to the next page together when needed.

But wouldn't that keep Rows A and G together? I only want Row A not to be split in the middle.

No, it won't - try it, please. It works the way you want for me in Word 2010 and Word 2016.
