My best guess on this: the intervening spaces *are* table rows. The text has
been formatted as Font Color: White, so that even if you display nonprinting
characters, you will see nothing. Possible white borders have been applied
as well so that you don't see table gridlines or text boundaries. If you can
place the insertion point in the space between rows, then there is "text"
there (an empty paragraph at least). If you *can* place the IP there, try
looking at Reveal Formatting.

Good day,

Please help me! Someone sent me this problem: it is a document
containing
several rows with blank, totally blank spaces between each row (no
paragrahp
marks, etc.). When I go to Table, Select Table, it selects all the rows,
as
if they were part of the same table. Yet, I don't how to make them "stick
together", i.e. get rid of all blank spaces. Using XP, Word 2003.

Could it have been structured as a Web document? When I "reveal
formatting", nothing indicates that it was structured as a Web document.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
