I have a form that consists of one table. The table starts at

How ?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using OOo version 3.1.1 (not the newest, I realize). I just
tried it and found it to be simple: I put the insertion point to
the left of the first character in the upper left hand cell of
the table, and press Enter, and it moves the table down one line
and puts the insertion point at the top of the page, outside of
the table.
In some earlier version, I remember struggling to do that task,
though.
In my case OO 3.3.0, the table goes to the left margin and clicking to
the left just highlights the first row.

You seem to have misunderstood Richard's instructions. Put the insertion
point (ie. the flashing caret/cursor position indicator) INSIDE the top
left hand cell of the table, as indicated by the * in the rough
illustration below:
--------------------
| *123 | 456 | 789 |
--------------------
| abcd | efg | hij |
--------------------
Assuming the top left hand cell contains the number 123, position the
flashing caret immediately to the left of the 1 and press Enter.
Hope this helps.

It seems that this only works if the text table is the very first thing
in the document. In other words, if you do this once and it works, then
try it again you will not have another new line inserted before the text
table.
Hmm, ok, if the thing immediately before the text table is another text
table, it will insert a newline before the text table as well. Wow, I
remember when the only method was to write a macro to manually force a
new paragraph before the text table; big improvement.
