Jim,

If you hold all rows of a table together (by setting Table > Table Format: Keep with Next (for 
all rows selected), then you get an empty space before the table.
You can eliminate this space only by setting in Table Designer > Basic > Start : Float.

With the Float attritbute on text after the table will flow between table anchor and table.
