Same here. I always work in 'Page View'. My largest table right now is 
apprx. 130 pages - set up in A4 - not US Letter... No problems with page 
breaks. My tables consists of 2 or 3 columns.

But I have noticed one big thing working with such large tables. NWP 
gets extremely slow when exceeding 100 pages with text only tables.

A work-around for this is to make such large tables into 'chapters' so 
each table will be smaller, and the final document then contains more 
tables - here for example 30 tables consisting of 2 or 3 columns - i.e. 
1 table for 1 chapter.

...And NWP will definitely be as fast as if it only contained 10-20 
pages of pure text.:-)

cheers, Erik Richard
