You can select and format the paragraph mark (¶) following the table as 1 pt
font size, with line spacing set to 1 pt, and spacing before/after both set
to zero. You can also format it as hidden. You can even create a paragraph
style with all of these characteristics, and apply it to the paragraph
following the table. Give the style a descriptive name such as Hidden
Paragraph.

I'm inserting a table into a single page word document. It sits at the
bottom
of the page, under the text. There is enough room for it to fit, but I
want
to maximise the size of the table using all the available space. However,
when I drag the bottom edge of the table to where the ruler shows the
margin
to be, the table breaks and continues on a new page. Revealing
non-printing
characters shows that there is a paragraph break below the table, so
presumably the reason the table breaks when it hasn't exceeded the page
margins is because room is needed for the paragraph break. This seems a
bit
strange, because with text, the break comes at the end of a line, i.e. it
doesn' t need a line of its own. Is there a way round this?
