Keep with next - if the next text is table does not work anymore
In a quick test, I observed nothing strange here, using a built-in heading style and a table immediately below the heading paragraph.
Did you make sure that there were no blank paragraphs between the heading and the first table row? Click the ΒΆ icon on the Home tab to view all nonprinting marks.
If you want to, you can share a sample document which illustrates what you see.
For paragraphs in the main body of the document, "Keep with next" works as you would expect: it keeps the paragraph with the next paragraph. (Inline objects behave as text characters within a text paragraph, so these would also be affected by "Keep with next.")
Within a table, "Keep with next" formatting will only work if it is applied to an entire row.
Stefan_Blom Hi! I just wanted to mention that I had the same issue as mentionned above: "keep with next" didn't seem to be working with a table, and even with normal text.
Here is what the problem was: the previous paragraph had "keep with next" activated and seemed to have precedence over the next one. By deactivating "keep with next" in the previous paragraph or table, all functioned normally (someone had overused the function in the document, it was everywhere).
I just thought that might be useful information to other users.
