Automatic Pagination of Tables in Word 2007 Splits Rows!

I have set a table in Word 2007 to automatically repeat table headings.

The problem is with the automatic page breaks that split multi-line rows.
Let's say some cells in a table row contains two lines of text and other
cells on the same row contain one line of text. Automatic pagination puts
line one on one page and line two on the next page, which destroys the
context of the whole row.

Manual page breaks in a table are no good because that prevents repeated
table headings.

The only workaround is extremely clumsy for maitenance: That is, enter
carriage returns on cells in the preceding row enough to force a page break
on the following row. That would mean any time I added or removed content
elsewhere in the document, I would have to rework these fudged carriage
returns in tables.

Please advise. Thank you.

Working with tables in Word is starting to feel like a Dark Art. :-)
