Anchoring Tables to a page

[Deborah]

Each of my tables in the text of the document has to be on
its own page with not always a full page of text before
and after the table (which is usually about 1/2 page in
size itself).
Is there any formatting technique I can use when I am
going through the document to make the tables always stay
on the page by themselves and the text shift around
accordingly before and after the tables?
The way the tables are set up now (I have inserted hard
returns etc.), any time I make a change to the text, the
tables shift and they don't always stay on a page by
themselves.
Once upon a time when I worked with WordPerfect there was
a feature for anchoring a graphic to a page after the
anchor mark. I cannot find anything similar in Word and
frames do not exist anymore.

Thank you
Deborah

Use a specific style for the heading row and include the "Page break before"
property in that style.

Thank you - this solves the table starting a new page,
however it does not frame it. Therefore, the text
following the table still needs a page break forced.
If I add any text previous to the table, and it gets to
more then 1 page, it should continue to wrap after the
table, not force the table to the next page yet again.
In other words, the table needs to be anchored to the
previous heading...if that makes sense.
Maybe there is no way

There is no way to make a wrapped object take up an entire page. It has to
be anchored to text on the page.
