I suspect you are pressing Enter at the beginning of the first cell of the
table and getting an empty paragraph above the table. Instead, try one of
these options:
1. Press Shift+Enter to insert a line break.
2. Add Space Before to the paragraph.
3. Format the label as vertically centered (though usually they are so
formatted by default).
