To continue with the thought I introduced with my last response, tables are objects in FM: To understand just what that means, put the cursor somewhere to the left of (or above) the table anchor symbol (you do have View > Text Symbols selected, right?). Now press the right arrow key repeatedly and watch the text cursor. It doesn't enter the table at all. It moves past the anchor symbol and continues on to the following pgf. The table is an object that "sits in" or is "anchored to" a pgf, but it's outside of the main flow. (Notice that every cell in a table has its own end-of-flow symbol. They're all independent flows.) In FM, a table object shares some of the attributes of an anchored frame object. This is quite different from Word and important to understand. Here's what that means regarding the behavior you observed: The Keep With Next setting of the TableCaption pgf (in which the table is anchored) means "keep with the next pgf _in the flow_," and that's the pgf following the table in this case. It might not always be the pgf following the table -- if the table is set to start at top of page or to float, it won't necessarily follow the pgf it's anchored in. But the "next" in Keep With Next will always be the pgf into which the cursor moves next when it leaves the TableCaption pgf. HTH! Richard Richard G.
