Smile Directory Merge stop table break onto 2 pages

Hi all, I've setup a catalogue/Directory merge that includes several tables of varying size, the problem is they are breaking across multiple pages.

I need to ensure each table stays together on the same page, being a directory merge the unchecking the table option 'Allow row to break across pages' doesn't work.

Is it even possible to stop the tables breaking across pages in a directory merge ?


I assumed I need a conditional page break, but if the only option is to run a macro after the merge has run then that is fine.


I've spent so many hours searching for solutions I hope someone can steer me in the right direction please.


Many thanks Dave

Simply format the paragraphs within the table with the 'keep together' and 'keep with next' attributes.

Thank you so much Macropod, it worked perfectly
I realise now I had only tried unchecking 'allow row to break across pages' and had not set the 2nd paragraph/page break setting to 'Keep together = true'

Thank you so much
Dave
