Ok, so I have a table: a long one that starts right at the top of the page.

Now I am trying to write something ABOVE the table and there is no way I can
force the thing down!

Help...
 
Hi Peter,

Assuming the table is at the start of your document, Press Ctrl-Home to get
to position the cursor before the first character, then press the <Enter>
key. This will insert a new paragraph before the table.

Cheers
 
Enter works in every version from Word 6.0 forward.

No, Enter alone does not always work. I see documents all the time that
start with a table on page 1 and for one reason or another, pressing Enter
will not, under any circumstance, add a para before the table. You can press
it till the cows come home and all you'll get is a lot of paras in cell 1.

Therefore, I showed him how to force it if necessary.

It works if you are at the very top of the table, which is why pressing
Ctrl+Home is suggested.
