Table protection for entire table in loop

Hi guys,

I have a problem with page protection.

I have a structure like this (pic also attached)

LOOP

-- TABLE

---- HEADER

------ LINE1

---- MAIN

------ LINE2

---- FOOTER

------ LINE3

It displays a table, that has a table within.

My problem is that I cannot give page protection for the entire table. If the table in the next loop does not fit into the page, than I would like to put the whole table to the next page. I tried to put the whole table into a folder (page protection gets greyed out), and tried page protection with smart styles but none of these worked. Do I have to design my table display a different way?

Thanks for every help,

David.
