Align tables in form
I have inherited a Word 2003 form which appears to consist of a lot of
single tables. Each of one row with a number of cells. These are all the same height with a uniform gap between rows. But their height and position are not set in their properties. I need to add a new row and move some tables up a fraction to fit on the page. How can I do this? I cant seem to create tables with a small uniform gap between rows, it is always too big. And the movement is too coarse to move them. With some of these rows, if I move them too close together, they merge to form a single table. Can someone please point me in the right direction, this is driving me crazy TIA Damon |

Align tables in form
Display nonprinting marks by clicking the ¶ button on the Standard
toolbar. As you've noticed, at least one paragraph mark is required between two tables (if the last one is deleted, Word merges the tables), but you can delete the others. Then format the remaining paragraph mark in a smaller point size to reduce the distance between tables. (Conversely, if you wanted to increase the distance between some tables, you could add spacing before or after via Format | Paragraph, Indents and Spacing tab.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Damon Grieves" wrote in message u...

Clarification: The ¶ symbol indicates a paragraph mark when
nonprinting characters are displayed. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
