How do I insert text above a table at the top of a Word document?

Question

This seems like it should be so basic, but it apparently isn't very intuitive.**The scenario:** (1) I've inserted a table into a new blank MS-Word document. (2) I want to add some text outside and above the table.**Problem:** The table is butted right up against the top of the document and I can't move the cursor to a point before the table to insert any new text. I've found that you can do this by cutting the table to the clipboard, type the new text and paste the table back, but there just has to be a more straightforward way to put the cursor at a point before a table that is at the top of a document.

Answer 1

You're right, it doesn't seem very intuitive, but it's actually easy.

If the table is at the very top of your document, click in the first cell.

Now just hit the Enter key.

You've now got a new row above the table.
