Top marks for brevity, Martha, but from your description I don't know what
your problem is.
Could you describe in reasonable detail what you are trying to achieve, what
you have done already, and exactly what isn't working as you expect? In
doing so, please clarify whether "space after" means the points of spacing
after a paragraph for text inside the table, or the same thing associated
with the characteristics of a paragraph following the table, or something to
do with the table itself (i.e., not text paragraphs). Give us the details
and I'm sure someone can help (maybe even me).
[That's not to say that somebody else won't come by who is much better at
guessing -- I'm a bit stunted in that area
. It's just that I find it
helps enormously to know the question before proposing an answer.]
