(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #0)
The "Allow row to break across pages and columns" checkbox is available in
Table Format dialog (Text Flow tab). It is a per-row property, and works
accordingly: if no cells are selected in current table, then it works for
all rows; but if any cells are selected, then it shows/sets the property for
those rows only. In case when the selection includes rows with different
values of the property, the checkbox is set to "undefined" third state.

So this checkbox should be changed to only work at the table level and be
labelled 'Allow all rows to break across pages and columns'.

But that it works like that isn't evident on the tab. One can suppose that
this is per-table property (I had supposed so for many ears until today, for
one), despite the "row" is used in singular there.

Yes this confused me as well.

The proposal is to also add the same checkbox to "Row height" dialog
(available in menu Table->Size->Row Height...). The checkbox could fit there
rather well, despite it's not directly a height-controlling property (still,
it controls vertical layout of the row). Because the dialog is specifically
row-oriented, the applicability of the property would be evident. And
because the property is also accessible from Table Format dialog, so the Row
Height dialog wouldn't need a rename (because the added option is just a
convenience option).

No i doubt anyone would find it if it was put in that dialog.

An alternative could be to add a tab to Table Format dialog named Rows, and
place row-specific (height and break) controls there.

Yes this is one of the features that i've been meaning to suggest be added as
it baffled me why we have a column tab but no row tab. Also i had seen a row
tab in MS Word. -
