In my document I had intially drafted up a simple table. I.e. the first thing in my document was a table.
I now want to add text before the table but I cannot create space before the table.
So far all I can see is "Table/Table Properties/Text Flow" then selecting "Break" & 'Page' & 'Before', but this does not insert a page break, and the table simply remains stuck to the top of the document.
Also putting the cursour in the first box of the table and pressing "Ctrl+Enter" does not creat a page break.

Re: Insert break before table
Place the cursor at the beginning of the top-left table cell and press enter (only enter): a new empty paragraph will be created before your table. Now, you can introduce more text or a page break.

Re: Insert break before table
My next question is how do I remove the page break/new page.
I've currently got:
Text
New Page
Table (at top of page 2)
I want:
Text
Table (on page 1)

Re: Insert break before table
Just insert the new paragraph before the table on page 2 and with the cursor placed on that empty paragraph press backspace (you can also use Delete from the end of page 1, it is the same)

Re: [Solved] Insert break before table
If you cannot remember the process it is quite simple to
1 Add some text below the table
2 Copy the table
3 Paste it below the text
4 Delete the original table.
QED - or Quite Easily Done.
