You've never seen this because you've never had a row that won't fit on
a page. FM doesn't allow a table row to span pages -- never has. 

If you can't reduce the contents of the oversized cell to something more
reasonable, you'll have to fake it. Add a new row below the problem row.
Cut part of the oversized cell's contents and paste it into the
corresponding cell of the new row. Then use Custom Ruling and Shading
settings to hide ruling lines between the two rows so they look like
one. 

HTH!
