1. Press Ctrl+Home to get to the very beginning of the table. Press Enter to
insert a new empty paragraph above the table. Add Space Before/After to this
paragraph to get the desired amount of space.

2. Alternatively, if the table doesn't have a repeating heading row, just
insert another row at the beginning of the table, set the row height to the
desired amount, and omit any borders you have on the rest of the table.

3. In Word 2000 or above, you can drag the table to the desired position,
but this results in its being wrapped, which may or may not cause other
problems.
