Regarding the table placement. Have the following been considered?

Are you using a 'Caption' for the table? Is the Caption above the table?

You don't want to have the caption on one page and the table on the next page.

Just another 'fly in the ointment' as it were.

Make the decision that the caption can be the determining factor in the number of lines to the page.

A table with a caption, header row(s), and only two or three table rows, might be best placed on a succeeding page.

Setting the table caption and the table as 'keep with next' will take care of a single table.

A decision to have every table have the same attributes will make sure that each table in your document will be 'together'.

Then you don't have to worry about looking at every table each time you redo the document, especially if you add/delete rows in one or more table(s) over time.

Just reviewing the entire document to view changes to the placement of tables is a waste of time.

Just an observation, based on experience. White space never hurt anyone!

If only one row plus the heading appears at the bottom of the page, wouldn't
a couple of returns do the trick?

I have a document that uses a lot of tables. Because some of
the data messages it documents are short, some tables have
only 3 or 4 rows.

Therefore, some pages contain several tables, and the final
table may split with, say, one row at the bottom of one page
and three at the top of the following page. I would prefer to
keep these short tables intact and have them jump to the top
of the following page.
