insert before table at start of doc

users
#1

Hi
If i have a writer doc with a table inserted right at the start before any text, but later i want to insert some lines of text before that table, ive found i can do this by converting the table to text, inserting the lines and then converting the text back to table; but is there a less tiresome way? Can i for example somehow just move the table down, or set the insert point before the table, or cut and paste the table itself? (it seems that the cut operation leaves an empty table behind, although subsequent paste *will* paste a new table and not just the cut table data).
Thanks

Set cursor at the start of top left cell. Press Alt+Enter.

Why not just press Enter? I just tried it in LO 6.0.4.2 and it wasn't necessary to use Alt.

You are right. For tables Enter is enough. You need Alt+Enter for sections.
