You might try opening the header window and use the mouse to position the cursor to the bottom of the window or close to it. Then delete the carriage returns. The idea of a table that can have text flow around it is a good one but then you are not really using it as a table (in the Word 4.0 sense) but as a graphic. I like the way word does it but other word processors (and I think Nisus works this way) use "outboard" utilities to make tables so that they really are graphics. The third thing you are trying to do was answered by Leskinen, it sounds right but I haven't tried it. Actually the 2 and 3 items on your list sound like items for a page layout program (and I guess that is what LaTex is). When I want to do something like that I use QuarkStyle (Quark's version of QuarkExpress for the slim of wallet). Note that you would still have to turn the table into a graphic.
