Sounds as if the tables have become dislodged and wrapped. This happens
easily in Print Layout view; if you accidentally nudge the table handle, the
table becomes wrapped. Right-click on the table, select Table Properties,
Table tab, and set text wrapping to None. If you placed the tables by
dragging them, then they were certainly wrapped. You may want to place them
instead by selecting the entire table (you can do this by clicking on the
table handle), then using Ctrl+X to Cut the table and Ctrl+V to paste it
where you want it. If you *want* the tables wrapped, then use the
Positioning... button on the Table tab of Table Properties to specify the
exact position relative to the margin, page, column, or paragraph.

Thank you Tony,
Can you give a bit more detail about what you want?
In a document I had placed tables where they belonged. Upen re-opening the
docunment, all the tables were at the top of the document and all the text
after the tables, completely out of context.
What I want:
****************************
Table of content
First Heading 1
-----------
| Table 1 |
-----------
text
text
text
Second Heading 1
-----------
| Table 2 |
-----------
text
text
etc
************************************************** **
What I got when I re-opened the saved document:
Table of Content
-----------
Table 1
-----------
-----------
Table 2
-----------
-----------
Table 3
-----------
-----------
Table 4
-----------
Heading 1
text
Heading 2
text
etc.
Cheers
Peter
