Hi, Sion.
I know you've solved the problem by retagging the paragraph, but just
in case the problem reappears, here are two possibilities.
You mentioned trying all kinds of Keep With settings, but I don't know
which paragraph you examined. In case you missed this possibility, does
the paragraph following the table have a Keep with Previous setting?
Or, the paragraph preceding the table -- does your template by chance
use teeny, barely visible "Anchor" paragraph tags? We use a 4 pt anchor
paragraph tag for tables and anchored frames, so they're not tied to
the previous text paragraph, and I have to remind myself that they're
there, they're so small. For a while, that anchor paragraph was set to
Keep with Next and I didn't realize it -- tables kept jumping to the
next page.
