Default Help with typing under a table


How can I get my cursor under a table so I can type text. I have seen this question asked and answered but not sure if answers address the question

Without knowing which questions & answers you're referring to, no one can say whether they're applicable. Have you actually tried them? Also, what wrap formatting does your table have? If it's 'Around', that may result in the paragraph break that normally follows a table being hidden behind it. Changing the wrapping to 'None' will fix that.

PS: Your pic still doesn't show.

Cut out your table...hit Enter and type something...paste the table before the text you just entered.

You can also tab down, type the text in the new row then simply delete the new row so your text is no longer within the table.

Since it isn't possible to have a table in a document without also having a paragraph (empty or otherise) that follows the table, I can't see what the cutting & pasting is supposed to achieve - one can simply type into the paragraph that's already there.

Similarly, deleting the new row won't work - you'll lose whatever you typed into it. You'd have to split the new row from the rest of the table, then convert the new one-row table to text.

Ultimately, both approaches are very round-about ways of solving a problem that doesn't really exist.
