How to move text up when table row deleted

I have a table with data in it with text below the table(not in table) and i
sometimes delete a few rows. When i delete the rows the text below the table
doesnt move up. how can i change this so it moves up but still keeps the page
break which is after the text?

thanks

Switch on table gridlines and you'll see what the problem is. Currently
you're selecting the table rows and pressing Delete -- this deletes the
*contents* of those rows, but not the rows themselves. To delete the rows,
use Delete > Rows from the Table menu.

I suspect that you're just deleting the contents of the rows rather than the
rows themselves. If you select a row and press Delete, you're just emptying
the row. To delete it you have to either press Backspace (recent versions)
or right-click and choose Delete Rows. If you are not displaying table
gridlines, do that so you can see what's going on.

I never said i used the delete button, i delete the rows. Show gridlines has
always been on

If you were really deleting the rows themselves, the text would move up
automatically -- there's nothing else to keep it down.

If the text paragraph below the table is formatted with "Keep
lines together" and/or "Keep with next", turn off those options
in Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks.
