Keeping a table on one page

I am trying to keep a 6X10 table on one page, but I run into a very weird situation, following the selection of the 9 rows. When I go to Format>Paragraph>Line and Page Breaks in order to select "Keep with next", all 5 check boxes, besides "Widow/Orphan control", are already checked by Word itself. I don't know what else to do except reducing the number of the cells. When I reach the 49th cell, everything returns to normal. All 5 check boxes are cleared. The result is that I can't select more than 49 cells. Can someone explain what's wrong here?

Thanks

There is no way that you can keep a multi-row table on one page. 

You can keep a one row table on one page, but if there is too much text in that table to fit within the space available for the table on the page, the excess text will not be visible.

Hope this helps,
