table does not move as text changes in word
If your table isn't running from margin to margin, I might suggest that you
insert a textbox in a paragraph of your document where you want to the table to appear, then insert the table(s) you need inside the textbox. Then you can wrap the text of your document around the textbox by formatting the textbox (rather than the table) to ride in-line with the text or to sit in front of or behind the document text, according to however you want it.

I create my table within the body of the document (I have also copied tables in from other documents). When I add one or more new lines of text prior to the table the table will move into the middle of the next line of text instead of miving all text below the table. If the table is left justified the trailing text ends up to the right of the table, if centered the line of text gets split on either side. This also happens when I delete lines below the table. The only solution that I've found so far is to extend the column widths so that the table goes from one margin to the next. This is a problem if there are only 2 or 3 columns and each one contains 4 or 5 characters. I have tried going to the table properties/positioning and selecting move with text and unselecting the overlap option. This helps with the text if its added prior to the table but not if its deleted after the table. This occurs in Word 2007 and 97/2003 documents |
