There are a few possibilities:
- Has the table crossed a page boundary?  It will move itself to avoid
this. Try editing in Galley mode (that shows the page layout) and turn
on automatic (background) repagination.  That should keep you up to
date on what Word will do when printing.
- Have you inadvertently formatted the position of the table (or a
paragraph enclosing it, if such a thing is possible)?  When everything
(paragraph ends, tabs, etc.) is showing on the screen, items that are
"Positioned" have a tiny square in front of their first line.  To
un-position something, select "Format Position" and then click on Reset.

Best of luck.
