How can I remove spaces between rows of tables in Microsoft Word

Question

I am building templates using cells to guide text entry, and when I am building these documents, every time I try to add rows to my table, I am seeing very large gabs between rows.

When I insert new rows in the table, my new row and some existing rows jump to a whole new page as if I had inserted some kind of section break, even though I have not.

I've looking into layouts, formatting, and any setting I can find my way into, but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of these awful spaces between cell rows in my table?  They cause my Rows to jump to the top of a whole new page.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide

Answer 1

Select the table row(s) and look for "Page break before" and "Keep with next" formatting. You'll find these options in the Paragraph dialog box, which you can display by clicking the dialog launcher button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.
