Default MS-Word 2007 is re-ordering tables


I have a fairly straightforward document - text and inline tables -
though I have double line spacing and the tables are multi-page.
However, in a number of cases a table is getting munged - it exists
after a paragraph, and yet the first row of the table is being placed
at the top (right at the top) of the page before some or all of the
paragraph. A large amount of whitespace is left, then the end of the
paragraph and then (on the next page) the rest of the table.

"Allow row to break..." seems to work as expected - I either get some
or all of the first table row in the wrong place (though there is more
than enough space for all of it.
"Repeat as header row..." is _not_ on - and in any case, I wouldn't
expect this feature to move the header row beforw the preceding
paragraph.
The various paragraph controls "Widow/orphan", "Keep with..." etc.
appear to have no effect.

In one case I was able to fix this by changing the number of carriage
returns between the paragraph and the table, but it is not working in
all cases.

Anyone got any idea what is going on - or more importantly how I might
fix it.
