Height of cells
I am new to drawing tables in Word. Using Word 2003.
1) I want to insert a line citing the source of the table, but after writing this line it is 1 spacing below the table, how do I make it directly beneath the table? 2) I have a table with each cell containing nembers (except for the top row), what is the acceptable height for each cell that I should use? I tried the "Distribute columns & rows evenly" but the height of cell become rather large. How do I standardise the height for all cells in this table? Thank you. |

1. Is it really one line beow the table? Turn on Non-printing characters
(Ctrl+Shft+8 or the ¶ icon) and see if there is a paragraph mark (¶) between the text and the table. It sounds as though there will not be as you would have deleted it before now. Probably the text has some Space Before, as part of it Paragragh attributes that is forcing it lower than you want, go to Format, Paragragh and take this setting down to 0. 2. There is no real "acceptable" row height, it really does depend on what you are doing. Table, Properties, Row, Specific height, I would not have this checked. And I think your problem with balancing the row height is the same a question 1, they text you are using has Space Before and/or After that is affecting the row height. I would change the Space BEfore and after to the same "pt". Tip: you can type in a smaller amount than the preset options, I tend to have the Space Before and After both at 2pt and the line spacing at single, combined with the Row height specific unchecked this tends to balance the table out.

Hi
1) Probably the text has some Space Before, as part of it Paragragh attributes that is forcing it lower than you want, go to Format, Paragragh and take this setting down to 0. I solved it by doing what you suggested. 2) they text you are using has Space Before and/or After that is affecting the row height. I would change the Space BEfore and after to the same "pt". Tip: you can type in a smaller amount than the preset options, I tend to have the Space Before and After both at 2pt and the line spacing at single, combined with the Row height specific unchecked this tends to balance the table out. The text in my cells are numbers, so I can't seem to find the Paragraph attributes or the Space Before and/or After. Thank you "DeanH" wrote: 1. Is it really one line beow the table?

1. Glad you got this solved.
2. Regardleass whether they are figures or letters, select the text, Format, Paragragh, change the Space Before and After to 2pt (even if they are blank) and the line spacing to Single. -- Hope this helps DeanH "PL" wrote: Hi 1) Probably the text has some Space Before, as part of it Paragragh attributes that is forcing it lower than you want, go to Format, Paragragh and take this setting down to 0.
