What are you using to format the output? (HTML/CSS, LaTeX, XSL:FO, or 
something else like InDesign or FrameMaker?)

Most systems have controls or parameters for keeping material together (as 
Bob describes) but the problem of a table not fitting where it falls on a 
page (and creating unwanted space where it won't fit) can only be solved 
either by moving it in the code so that it occurs earlier or later, or by 
using a system that does this automatically (eg LaTeX's floating mechanism).
