[vox-tech] OpenOffice - moving a table

I want to stick text above the table.  However, I can't seem to position the
cursor "above" the table to insert text.  The table doesn't want to seem to
move, like it's anchored at the very top of the page (modulo the margin
which you can't use anyhow).

How do I move this table to make room for text above it?

Also, there appears to be a blank second page.  Nothing actually appears to
be on the page, so there's nothing for me to delete in order to remove the
page.  Any ideas on how to remove the second page?

Even though the table doesn't extend to the bottom of page 1, I'm wondering
if these two problems are related?

It's so odd that I feel more proficient at LaTeX than I do a simple word
processor...  :-(

Thanks,
Pete

How VBA rounds a number depends on the number's internal representation.
You cannot always predict how it will round when the rounding digit is 5.
If you want a rounding function that rounds according to predictable rules,
you should write your own.
