Oh, I have no argument with that. How long have we been asking for this type
of formatting? But, as you say, until we get what we really need, we have to
use a workaround. (Another thing I hope to see before I die is a "Keep with
previous" property.)

But I agree with the OP that what we really want here is "spacing below
the
table" rather than "spacing above the following paragraph of text." In
other
words, logically speaking, the spacing should, ideally, be tied to the
table
(and it should be applied below any bottom border). Of course, this cannot
be
accomplished in Word, so we do the second best thing...

I don't see much difference between this and using unindented paragraphs
following left-aligned headings even though the remainder of the text
paragraphs have a first-line indent. The whole concept of styles is to
apply
the formatting that is required for a given purpose, and I see the
paragraph
after a table as meeting this test. I set the "Style for following
paragraph" to be whatever flavor of Body Text I'm using for the main
portion, so it's (almost) effortless.

I would like to avoid using special styles in special places.
If the table style would actually put in the space after the last row,
I would have what I want. But something is preventing it from showing
up, even though the style has a setting for it, which I have set
accordingly.
I see this as either a bug, or there is some subtlety about how to go
about setting that option in the table style. Perhaps there is some
setting somewhere that is overriding it or disabling it.

I usually just add Space After to the text before the table and
Space
Before
to the paragraph after the table. I have a Body Text Space Before

I use for this and other applications where I want to leave extra

above a paragraph.
