Try formatting the first row of the table as "Page break before."

When working in MSWord2003 I have been trying to place a page break before
a
table. When I insert a page break, Word inserts an extra line above the
table. When I try to remove the extra line, it also removes the page
break.
Is there any way to remove the extra line without removing the page break?
