This reasoning for not allowing a break by a paragraph in a table is perfectly
logical.
However, this causes some files created in MS Word to be formatted differently
when opened in LO Write. In those files, any paragraph inside a table cell CAN
have a "break before" attribute -- just like any other paragraph not in a
table.
Word uses the following logic to define the behavior of such a "break before"
attribute:
If the attribute is on the FIRST paragraph of the FIRST column of a row, it
causes a page break before the row.
If the attribute is on any other paragraph in the table, it has no effect.
(This behavior seems to be consistent in all Word versions I have tried.)
So the question seems to be: Should Write have the most "compatible" (with
Word) behavior? For people using Write to open files created in Word, I suspect
the preferred answer would be "yes".
I have not yet seen the "break after" attribute in paragraphs in tables in Word
files, but would be happy to test it if needed.</pre>
