Okay, I went through a DOZEN pages by so-called experts who suggested relatively obvious things like, "try deleting the paragrah mark." None of the suggested solutions work, until I stumbled into this little gem:

How to hide blank page after a table:
1) highlight paragraph mark after table (If you cannot see paragraph marks, press CTRL-*)
2) then Format | Font | Hidden

The blank page is still there, but ha! you can't see it!
