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.

So how does one figure if the tables are being corrupted? When you seem them behave strangely? I have lots of tables that have been migrated from earlier verisons of Word? Do I need to adjust them and see how they break before I know? I don't have the manpower to be able to recreate all the tables from earlier versions.
Thanks mate, it did solve the problem!
Thank you ALL for your kind assistance.
The solution is that the table in question is CORRUPTED.
Please I cannot more emphatically recommend that you and your fellow MVP's remember this and help other people know that if they move tables from earlier versions of Word into Word 2013 they might run into this problem.
When I create the table from scratchin 2013 there is no sign of this issue.
POST SCRIPT
Now that I have created the tables from scratch a lot of other weird issues have gone away as well.
If in the Table Properties dialog, the table is set to have the Text wrapped around it, the header row will NOT repeat. You need to set the Text wrapping to None if you want the table to continue from one page to the next with the header row(s) repeating.
Thank you for your kind assistance Doug.

For what it's worth I have been writing professional documents with Word for 15 + years and I have NEVER seen this problem until Word 2013.
God bless you
