Ok, I'll be honest I hack rather than figuring out whats wrong.
Try, highlighting the table and doing a cut(ctrl-x) type at least 1 char 
and then paste the table back(ctrl-v).
As for the odd second page, if it still exists after the stuff above, 
try moving the cursor to the end of the 1st page, wherever it thinks 
that is and use the delete key(not backspace).
