I right clicked on each table and removed text wrapping from the cell
attributes (the only place that I saw it), but the problem continues.

I don't think I put it in the video, but the tables also snap to the edges
of the page when you get within some arbitrary distance, and I cannot find
any settings to stop that behavior either.

Honestly, if I could find some really good form creation software I'd get it
and never, ever try this again with Word.

I can't see your paragraph/formatting marks but I suspect the underlying
issue is due to where your floating tables are anchored. Since your
document doesn't appear to need to use floating tables I suspect once you
set them to inline the issue will be resolved. In the Table Properties (on
the Layout tab of the contextual Table Tools) try setting the Text wrapping
to None.

I was trying to create a simple form with Word 2007. I placed several
tables on a page and then proceeded to delete a row from the top table.

Oddly enough, this caused another table to jump to the top portion of the
page and it would not be placed back into position. It's the strangest
(stupidest) thing I have ever seen in Word.

It's really hard to explain well without showing it to you, so please
take a look at the video of my problem at
http://www.mediafire.com/?bx1svd4zzjp and let me know if you have a
solution to this. (The video file is WMV and about 2.5 Mb.)

Thanks!
