Space above table

[JeanneMarie]

I’ve looked it up but I can’t add text above a table at the top of a document. Whether I press ENTER or ALT+ENTER before the first character, I break the page. Sure, I can type text, but I don’t want the page to break. I want the text right above the able.

What am I missing here?
Many many thanks.

Spacing above and below table is set in properties.

1. right-click on table and Table Properties
2. go to Table tab
3. set Above and Below spacing as needed
4. OK

PS: due to subtle differences, always mentions OS name, exact LO version and save format.
