Keep table rows together

I’ve noticed since upgrading to Windows 11 that when I go to set all table rows bar the last row to keep with next so that a table won't split onto the next page, I’m seeing all options in Pagination...

Thanks Doug. If I create the table from scratch in Word, it's fine. The tables I have trouble with are most likely copied over from Excel (by others, I’m an editor) - would that be the problem? In the attached table, for example, I went through the steps you gave me but (i) the Style Name showing was Normal (it's Table Grid now but I had to select that), (ii) only the widow-orphan checkbox was ticked anyway and (iii) the Set As Default button was greyed out. After clicking OK and going back to my table, all the Pagination and Formatting exceptions options are still selected. If the problem is that the tables are imported rather than created in Word, is there any workaround to keep the table on the same page https://ulcampus-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/personal/grainne_odonovan_ul_ie/Documents/@My%20Documents/Microsoft/MS%20Community%20Hub/Sample%20table.docx?d=wb6b1fd064ee94905a2673d7af040f10f&csf=1&web=1&e=IHZdp5?

Thanks Doug.
