How can a large gap in between MS Word 2013 table rows be reduced?

Hi!

I'm working in a lengthy table in MS Word 2013 and have a large gap between rows that I would like to eliminate. The gap leaves about 80% of one of the first page in the image below blank.

The subsequent row on the second page covers nearly the next two full pages of the document. (There is no page break in the content in the second row.)

How do I get a portion of the second row to "bump up" to fill the gap in the first page?

Hi!

How do I get a portion of the second row to "bump up" to fill the gap in the first page? 

Two things to look for

1  The row height may exceed the space available on the preceding page. (Don't specify row height.) 

2  Text in the row may be set to keep with next. (Turn that off.)
