In FrontPage 2000, if you have a table that immediately follows another table, it's not obvious how to separate the two tables with either a blank paragraph or some text. The answer is as follows:

Position the cursor at the beginning of the first cell of the second table.
Press the 'Ctrl' and 'return' keys at the same time - the tables should now separate.
Once the tables have separated, you can either press the spacebar to create an empty paragraph or enter some text to keep the tables apart.
This advice also applies if you want to put a new paragraph before a table that appears at the very beginning of your page.   _{Your Comment}
