WD2013 : Won't allow tables to break across pages

I am an intermediate level user of word but seem to be getting stuck on this item with WD2013.  Routinely when I create or paste in tables, WD2013 will not allow the tables to break across pages.  I have done the usual table properties checks (allow break) and paragraph checks (keep with next) but no luck.  I am admittedly only a few weeks old with WD2013, so I'm hoping it is just another setting I'm missing in the new format.

Any help is appreciated.

    That worked, thanks. However, it broke my banded rows, which I easily fixed by un-checking and then re-checking the Banded Rows option.

    Note that applying "Keep with next" formatting to table rows (or, to be more precise, to all rows except for the last one) would ensure that all rows stay together on the same page. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/keeptableon1page.htm.

    Now that is just counter intuitive... one would assume that the option to 'allow table to break across pages' would function.... But the above option did work for me. Thanks.

    Any table whose rows have a fixed height will not allow rows to break; instead, whole rows will move to the following page.

    If you are saying that the whole table moves to the following page, check for "Keep with next" formatting.
