Make sure that the wrapping on the table is set to None (Table tab of Table

I have a table with merged cells in the first column. The last row on page
1
of my table continues onto page 2 (I'm allowing rows to break across
pages).
The text in the first-column cell of the last row on page 1 begins on page
1
but doesn't appear continued at top of page 2. The text is there alright
but
disappears into the bottom of the page. This is the merged cell of this
row -
there are four more columns in the table. Thanks, Grainne
