Problem with large portion of page blank area due to table behavior.
Page has (in presented order page top to bottom) one line Heading 1, one line Heading 2, 1 line Heading 3, 2 lines of text body paragraph, also page margins.
Table was inserted below mentioned 2-lines text body paragraph however Writer places table on next page which results in large blank area on preceding page.
Caption is attached to table, however caption is placed below table - it is the document author decision.
