In my testing, the visibility settings have no effect on how the code works. That suggests there's either some corruption in your document or a fault in your Word installation.

Corrupt documents can often be 'repaired' by inserting a new, empty, paragraph at the very end, copying everything except that new paragraph to a new document based on the same template, closing the old document and saving the new one over it. Similarly, corrupt tables can often be 'repaired' by converting the tables to text and back again or by saving the document in RTF format, closing the document then re-opening it and re-saving in the doc(x) format.

A faulty Office installation can usually be repaired via Programs & Features > Microsoft Office > Change in the Windows Control Panel.

Hi Paul,
thanks for your suggestions about corrupted document/table/word installation.
Have successfully repaired office (with no indication to a repaired problem), have converted the table to text and back again, have gone throth the .rtf and back to .dot conversion, but none of them has resolved the problem (different handling between non-printing chars. Setting them on -> OK, one complete table per page setting them off -> Not OK, table splits between page 1 and 2).
The only way for me to reliably solve the problem is setting the style options for paragraph in the table(1) to “Keep With Next” and “Keep Lines Together”.

In case you would like to test the table I'm using, I have attached 2 docs in a .zip package. One that is not OK and one that containes the settings described above, which works ok.

Thanks and kind regards
Rolf
