Default Clicking under a table to obtain cursor

Hello,

I have a chart and and table on a page in Word. I'm trying to click under
the table so I can type in my results. However, everytime I try to click
under the table the cursor bounces up to the top of the page, on the left
side of the chart. I tried to arrow down past everything; however, the
cursor stops in the lowest cell of the table. If from here I type return,
the lowest row of the table just keeps growing, without letting me outside
of it. Any suggestions?

John

Word usually has a line below a table. Select the whole Table, cut it and
then add a few blank lines (returns) and click above these and paste the
table back. Does this work for you?

Or maybe part of the document is protected in some way (say for forms)?
If it's a newer version, you could check the protection task pane, else the
"lock" icon on the forms toolbar.
