A table is a single element in FM, anchored at a paragraph.
You cannot put text or other elements in between table rows,
and I'm not sure why you would want to do that. If the table
fits on a single page, would you consider putting text between
rows 3 and 4? I would guess no, so why would you want text to
appear in between the rows if the table breaks? I understand
that you may not like the white space, but you should first
of all consider the presenting of information. If the info in
row 4 doesn't need to follow row 3, perhaps you shouldn't be
using a table at all?

Have you tried setting the table's Start position to Float?
Also make sure no table rows are set to Start on top of a page
(see Table>Row format for each row).
