Still on NWP 1.4.1, as I want to wait until I get good (cheap) internet 
access before downloading a big file like NWP 2!

I have a lot of tables in a document. Due to an earlier bug, the heading 
is a separate paragraph before the table, with a custom automatic number 
at the beginning (Table x.). 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.

If I put a manual page break at the beginning of the heading paragraph, 
I get the automatic number twice, once before the page break and once 
after it, so that the numbering is out. If I put the page break at the 
end of the preceding paragraph, I get a blank line at the top of the 
following page.

I can't find anything that indicates a formatting command for tables to 
keep them all on one page.

The least bad option so far is to add enough extra lines to push the 
table onto the next page, but that's a rather fragile solution. I'm just 
about done with this paper, so it would probably work. But is there a 
better way?
