The table grew to the point where it crossed page bounderies. You need to 
do one of several things.

  1. Shorten the text immediately preceding the table.

  2. Use Word 4.0's new Position command. This supposedly should work,
     though I couldn't get it to right now, though I didn't consult the 
     manual.
