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.

2015-05-11T11:15:31+00:00 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.

Go to: table properties / Tab: Table
Go to: Positioning
Uncheck: Move with text
Check: Allow Overlap
Afterwards everything will be as you expected. Table allows to break through lines after this step.
