Thanks for the tip, but for me that shortcut just splits the table. Even if
you have inserted a new row, you'll still have to delete it, and if you
haven't inserted a new row, then you'll have to drag the split-off row back
up to the table.

Thanks, Stefan, and Suzanne. I also found from trial and error that I
can press Shift-Ctrl-Return at the right end of a table row. That
inserts a Normal paragraph.
Regarding the bit about cross-references to numbered headings, life
sure would be easier if one can turn on visibility of these automatic
bookmarks.

Another approach is to add a row to the table, then right-click in that
row
and choose Split Table. This will insert a Normal paragraph between the
new
row and the existing table. Then select the new row and press Backspace to
delete.

Select the whole cross-referenced (bookmarked) heading; be sure to
include
the paragraph mark that terminates the paragraph. Cut it and paste
elsewhere in the document. Then add the blank paragraph by pressing
Enter
at the beginning of what is now the paragraph below the table. Cut and
paste the heading back into position.
The exercise will be easier if you display nonprinting marks which you
can
do by pressing the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar. Paragraph marks
will
display as pilcrows (¶).

I have a table immediately followed by a (numbered) Heading1
paragraph. I want to put a "Body Text" style paragraph in between
them. If I put the cursor at the very end of the last table row and
press return, all I get is another table row (rather than a new
paragraph). I tried to select the last row and change it to "Body
Text", but that only changed the style within the table cells. It
didn't convert the row into a non-table paragraph.
As another way of inserting a paragraph between the table and the
Heading1 paragraph, I put the cursor just before the first letter of
the Heading1 paragraph and pressed return. That created a Heading1
paragraph just before the original one. Now I can change the new
Heading1 paragraph to Body Text. However, all cross-references to the
original Heading1 paragraph now refer to the new Heading1 paragraph.
When I changed the new Heading1 paragraph to Body Text, all the
aforementioned cross-references became (for example) "see Section 0"
instead of the paragraph number of the original Heading 1 paragraph.
Based on what I've been learning from this newsgroup lately, I realize
there's all sorts of acrobatics one might be able to do with revealing
codes and search/replace, but figuring that out really necessary to
insert a paragraph between a table and a heading?
I'm using Word 2003 on Windows XP. Thanks.
