[reportlab-users] Keeping rows of a table together?

There's a lazy way to do it.  Make an outer big table with ONE 
column.  Inside the first row put a 3-column, 1-row table with your
headers.  This will then repeat on each page. Then, make a separate
3-row, 3-column table for each of your deliveries and put it in the single
cell of the next row down.  I THINK this will work.  If not and
it splits the second-level tables, then make the second level
tables 3 distinct one-row objects with the same style and put a
KeepTogether around them.

If you were brave, yes :-)
