Using FM8. I have a table of several rows starting on page x. after the first row, the next row jumps to the page x+1. It's there alone because the 3d row jumps to the page x+2. None of these rows contain enough text to cause a page break, and I'm left with huge blank portions on my pages. I can't discern how this table is different from the dozens of tables already in this document. is there a setting somewhere that allows table rows to stay together? Something is causing the individual rows to go the the next page. The paragraph designer does not show keep-with-next, or any other setting that would cause this. Thanks.

If you highlight a table row (i.e. select all the cells from left to right) then look in the menu Table > Row Format, you'll see the settings for that specific row as far as keep with next / keep with previous.

There's also a setting for the table itself that determines how many rows have to be kept together when the table breaks across pages -- look at teh Table Designer, in the "Basic" tab, bottom left corner, Orphan rows.

There can be strange row breaks in tables at times if FM gets conflicting instructions for the keep with next / previous and the Orphan rows settings.
