Default Locking table position

If you set text wrapping for the Table to "Around" (in Table Properties),
you can then uncheck "move with text" and choose where to put the table,
using the Positioning sub-dialog of Table Properties.

Keith,
You could put the table in a frame. Format the frame to not move with the
text and anchor it to the first paragraph of the page.

Is it possible to lock or anchor a table to a specific position on a
page?
Users should still be able to edit text in cells.

Tony - did as you suggested, but it doesn't fix the problem. Yes, the table
doesn't move if the user types outside the table, but it allows them to
accidently (or otherwise) drag the table around the page.
