Sorry, this does NOT work.

Furthermore I cannot believe that cut+delete+reinsert (as suggested in the posting before) is the only way.

It is the only way I know, and it does work. I just learned a long time ago to not begin a Word document with a table.

There is probably a vba programming solution but I've never bothered to figure one out because the manual solution gets the job done.

You probably have set the text wrapping to "Around" (in the Table Properties dialog box), in which case the behavior will be more unpredictable.

In an ordinary table it certainly works, and it has done so since (at least) Word 97.

I don't know how it works if you have a right-to-left language enabled, but I'd guess it involves the right-most table cell (of the first row).
