Default Exit a table in Word

You can also use the right arrow key. Or just click below the table in the
empty paragraph that will be there. This is decidedly easier if you have
nonprinting characters displayed.

Im using Word 2007 but i have run into this in the past in previous
versions.

I am not showing printing characters. But your comment gave me an idea and
i
just found the answer ctrl-end will kick you out and put you right under
the
table.

What version of Word are you working in? Are you displaying your
non-Printing Characters (Show/Hide ¶ button) ? I've been trying to NOT
get
an empty line below a table and I am unable to do so in Word 2003 or Word
2007 so far.

One trick I have learned is if you insert a table at the very beginning
of a
document and need to enter information ABOVE the table, you can hit
CTRL+HOME
on your keyboard and then hit ENTER and you should get a blank line ABOVE
the
table.

When putting a table in a microsoft word doc if you dont have any text
below
its impossible to exit the table the only way i have found is either a.
do a
ctrl-enter or b. put some carriage returns in before inserting the
table.

So looking for is there any easier key stroke to jump out of the table
and
start typing text below the table?
