Glad I could help.

And, yes, a footer with "too much" text in it will expand, pushing the
page contents upwards, but it won't actually change the bottom margin.
If footers are big through-out the document (or section), consider
increasing the bottom margin.

In the Table Positioning dialog box, setting the vertical position
to
"Bottom" relative to "Margin" should work.

First all, thanks for your help.
yes, it does work. what wasn't obvious (to me, or anyone here at the
office)
is that the bottom margin setting doesn't accommodate any footer
appearing
on
that page, so the table was superimposed on the footer.
