How can I add a paragraph directly after Word table?

If I have a document with a table in it, how do I add a new paragraph directly after the table?

For example:

enter image description here

Note the cross reference (which is a hyperlink) back to Heading 1b.

The only way I've found to add a new paragraph after the table (but before Heading 1b) is to put the cursor at the start of Heading 1b, and press Enter. This adds a new paragraph with style Heading 1, which I can fix by changing it to Normal - but this messes up the hyperlinks later in the document.

For my above example, doing this results in:

enter image description here

Clicking on the bottom hyperlink puts the cursor here:

enter image description here

...and updating the cross-reference (with F9) results in:

enter image description here

Sorry, in my previous answer I had forgot to update fields. I posted another solution that I checked properly. If it work better than the others, please accept it so that people can see it first and not last.

One solution would be to select the table, Cut it, insert all or some of "New text line 1" (or a single Enter), then Paste it back in after "Text".

Had the same issue with a document that had a lot of tables immediately before the next heading. Adding text in-between became a headache.
Wanted to avoid copying tables, because pasting them feels like gambling with formats and alignments.

Quickest hack I found was:

Add a new last row (simple Enter at the end of the table)

Add a column break before that new row (Ctrl+Shift+Enter at the beginning of the new last row you just created).

Delete the new row, now isolated from the table

The column break will insert an empty paragraph between the main table and last row. Too bad there's not (IDK) a simple way to delete the isolated last row with a quick key combination.

Thanks Rodolfo - this is essentially the same as the accepted answer, except that it leaves two copies of the table in place. But otherwise still a decent solution.

@Geoff Thanks for the feedback. The accepted question was not clear to me. Now my answer does not leave to copies: just replace Copy by Cut.

makes sense. This essentially makes this the same solution as the accepted answer. I'd be interested in seeing other solutions that don't involve the cut/paste route, which I suspect could have other problems for hyperlinks.
