Description Dan 2014-12-01 16:56:32 UTC 
The text-flow options "Do not split pararaph", "Keep with next paragraph" and "Widow / Orphan control" do not work for text placed inside table cells.

This is, AFAIK, not an intended feature (at least I cannot see the reasons for that).

Tested on Mac OS X and LO 4.3.4.1 release, but probably OS unrelated.

[N.B.: In fact, I observed some very strange behaviour in this connection when working in a multi-column table (properties set for a paragraph in the first column of a two- column table were applied to the corresponding "mirror" paragraph in the second column); however, I failed to replicate this behaviour during subsequent investigations.]

(In reply to Alex Thurgood from comment #1)
> Please provide sample document, and OSX version

(1) OS X 10.10.1 (does not look OS related though)
(2) a simple sample document can be easily creaed by anyone, but I am attaching one for convenience. 

N.B.: Formatting may be an issue and the paragraph breaks may not be exactly the same on all systems. But the desired outcome can easily be recreated by adjusting paragraph length as needed.

Here:
- Para 1 has "Do not split paragraph" box checked but the paragraph is still divided between pages 1 and 2.
- Para 4 has Widow/Orphan control" turned on so there should not be an orphaned line before page break.

Experimenting with "Keep with next paragraph" possible too in the document.
