I gave up trying to find some button to keep tables together the same as paragraphs.

I have been copying tables into Nisus 2 from Pages and as they were not pretty, there was a lot of adjusting to do. This method works fine for me:

Start the table on a new page and make it look pretty.
Insert a page break at the end.
Do a 'Command C' on the table but no 'Paste'.
Starting from the bottom of the table, use 'Table - Delete - Row' one row at a time until the table fits the page. (This saves a lot of fiddling).
On the next page, 'Paste'.
Delete rows from the top until you have the complete table with no duplicate rows.

I'd like to be able to keep some of these tables on the same page, that is, not allow the table to split over a page boundary.
