Or you can select the text in the first row and format it as "Page break
before" (Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks). This will not work,
however, if the table is the first thing in the document, whereas Ctrl+Enter
will.

The problem with using Ctrl+Enter at the beginning of a document is that
Word inserts a page break but does not insert a paragraph mark before the
page break (so you can't type anything on the page you've just created until
you press Enter to get a paragraph). Worse still, there will be a paragraph
mark before the table on the second page, which you cannot remove without
removing the page break.

The solution, then, if you want to insert a page before a table at the very
beginning of a document, is to use Ctrl+Home to make sure you're at the very
top of the table, then press Enter to get a paragraph mark above the table.
You can then format the first row of the table as "Page break before," and
you'll have a blank page before the table and no empty paragraph at the top
of the page above the table. "Page break before" can also be used within
pages to force part of the table onto a new page without splitting the
table.

tsbbygirl,
You mean a page break using Ctrl+enter or Insert - break - page break.
Works fine here.
Are you in the very first cell when you press ctrl+enter?
