How does one start a table at the insertion point and not below the cursor line?

I'm trying to add tables to the tops of pages and at the tops of columns. When I insert the table, however, it always drops down to the line below. I must then manipulate the font size of the line above it so that my columns are close to even across the top. Then, if later on I change the text I'm left with fixing the 2 point font size. It's annoying and time consuming. Surely there is a way to add the table at the insertion point. Surely?

There is a technique for setting tthis up so that there is no gap at the top of the column.

1. You need to create a special paratag to hold the table anchors (e.g. anchor.tbl).

2. Seett the Space Below in this paratag (anchor.tbl) to be the negative value of the Body tag spacing, e.g. -12.0pt

3. In the Table Designer, set the Space Above for the table to be the samee negativee value, i.e. -12.0pt

This will cause the table to back-up over top of the anchor.tbl paratag line.

Thank you so, so, so much Arnis Gubins. That worked perfectly!
