And you can get to that paragraph mark by pressing Right Arrow twice from
the last cell of the table.

I'm sure I used to know of a shortcut key which takes you outside a table

not
being able to create a page break.

I can get around it by splitting the table etc. but I'm sure there's a
shortcut?

Anyone know?

Hi Chris,

Using Table Split is one way. The other is to put the cursor in
front of the first character in the top left cell and press Enter.
That will create a new paragraph above the table. If the cursor is
anywhere else in the table, the new paragraph will be inside the
table.

There is always a paragraph mark below (outside) a table, which you
can see if you turn on nonprinting characters with the ¶ button.
