    Yes! That did it! Thank you once again for all of your help. I thought
    that I had looked in table properties but obviously looked right past that
    very first item labeled 'layout-alignment'. Instead I had gone directly to
    the 'style' button then 'format' then 'paragraph' and 'postion'... which
    obviously have no impact on the overall table position...
    Thanks again.
