Keep paragraph with table

Tim,

You shouldn't get any extra white space.  Double check the the two Space 
settings, and make sure their absolute values are equal to each other 
and as large as or larger than the font size of the anchor pgf. For 
example, if your anchor pgf font is 11pt, make the Space Below -12pt and 
the table's Space Above -12pt.  The table should then begin right below 
the pgf preceding the anchor pgf.  (Also check Space Below in the 
preceding pgf, and Space Above in the anchor pgf -- Frame will use the 
larger of the two if they are non-zero.)

HTH,

s.
