When copying a table it would be nice if the RTF had keep together set (or some such) so that tables stay on one page when pasted into Word.

I believe that RTF doesn't support that.

I think the following do it. Admittedly I am burdened neither by experience with RTF nor with having to implement anything.

\keep Keep paragraph intact.
\keepn Keep paragraph with the next paragraph.

Are you referring to when pasting a table larger than a page (in Word), Word will page break the table and therefore you will get multiple pages? If so, is the desired behavior then to shrink the font such that the entire table is on one page?

No. I'm talking about when the table is smaller than one page but there isn't room left on the existing page for it to all fit. In Word, you can have the table kept together so it will go on the page where it's pasted if there's room and otherwise start on a fresh page.

Your suggestion is under consideration. It is likely to happen but complications such as keeping current functionality is preventing it from being an easily added feature.
