When I extend a table to the bottom of a page, often I get an unwanted page
that follows. I can see a hard return code on the top or the unwanted page,
but I cannot delete it or delete the page even though no text is on the page.
Suggestions??

It is a Word thing.... A table must be followed by an ampersand (¶).

5 Suggestions:

In later Word versions - From XP (or 2000?) - you can set the table to
"floating" in the Table Properties by setting the wrapping to Around.
Select the ¶ under then table and set it to a line spacing of 0.7 pt (Format
Paragraph).
Sometimes, setting the last ¶ to Hidden (Format Font) will do the trick at
print times or when you do not use "Show all"
Reduce the bottom or top margin!
Put the table in a floating text box.
