Why do Paragraph:Format changes have no effect in table cells?
It's cell (and table) margins you are looking for, I think. In the tale
properties dialog (table properties table or cell tab options), you can set inside margins. PamC Steve_Ray wrote: Have you tried using the alignment buttons on the tables and borders toolbar? There are nine icons for (horizontal) left, right, and center of (vertical) top, center, and bottom alignments. The icons change when text direction changes. Thanks a lot. That does seem to do the trick. However, in the opposite dimension I haven't found a good way to reduce the 'blank space' on either side of the vertical text (i.e., blank space on the 'left' and 'right' side of the text -- which, as you look at the page, is actually space at the 'top' and 'bottom' of the cell). I can do it by reducing the 'row' margins (top & bottom), but that reduces the 'row height,' which isn't what I want. I just want more text to be able to fit in the cell without wrapping to a new line. Any ideas on how to do *that*? Thanks again. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ables/200811/1 |

properties dialog (table properties table or cell tab options), you can set inside margins. Thanks for your reply. Changing those doesn't appear to have any effect. The L and R cell margins were 'zero' anyway, and the T and B were 0.08". When I reduced the latter to zero, there was no visible effect. So I still can't see what's controlling that 'white space' in the cells' T and B margins (which border the text 'as if' they were instead L and R margins since the 'text direction' in those header row cells is vertical). |
