How do you create a new paragraph after a table?

You could choose Special> Page Break. The problem with that method is that 
FrameMaker removes the page break anytime you remove overrides. So I create 
a paragraph format called PageBreak and give it a high "space below 
paragraph" value, such as 500 points. Insert this blank paragraph above your 
heading and it will force the heading to the top of the next column or page.

Alternately, you could fiddle with the "space below" setting for the 
paragraph style holding the table anchor, or adjust the "space above" for 
the heading paragraph style, but that either leaves you with an override for 
your current paragraph style, or forces you to change the value for the 
paragraph style everywhere in the document. It's best to use paragraph and 
characters styles as designed, and avoid overriding them.
