That symptom usually indicates that the table is "floating" instead of
"in-line".

Go to Table > Table Properties, click the None button in the Text Wrapping
section, and click OK. That should cure it.

There's a row property "Allow row to break across pages" that determines
whether a single row can be split over 2 pages. If off, the entire row
will be moved to the next page as needed. However, if your text is
actually disappearing, it suggests that something odd is going on.

Hi,

[Word version?]

> So where is this "row properties"?

Open the *Table Properties*. There you will find the tab *Row* with its
settings.

To add to what Lisa wrote, any version of Word lets you access the Table
Properties via the context (right-click) menu if you right-click the table.
