That is exactly what I said:

The Show/Hide ¶ button does hide Hidden text unless "Hidden text" is
explicitly checked in the View Options.

The Options setting you describe in Word 2007 is equivalent to the one in
Tools | Options | View in previous versions.

Hi Suzanne,

But, it does not hide hidden text if it is set to be displayed under Pizza
ButtonWord OptionsDisplay. Of course that dialog does say "Always show
these formatting marks on the screen" and if the ¶ is checked there, the ¶
in the Paragraph chunk of the Home tab of the Ribbon does not toggle the
end of paragraph marks on and off.

Hope this helps.

separate setting under Print Options, which is less likely to be checked
(and of course would affect only printing, not display).

Right you are. I could have sworn that in earlier versions the ¶ button
hid the display of hidden text as well.

It certainly works here. Perhaps you forgot to clear the option to
print hidden text?

Hi Tony,

That does not seem to achieve the desired result in Word 2007 at
least.

You could also format the paragraph mark at the top of the second
column
as hidden text.

Enjoy,

I think that the best that you can do is to select the paragraph mark
(¶)
that is at the top of the column and then use format paragraph to
remove
any space before or after the paragraph and set the line spacing to
Exactly 1pt (the minimum). You probably won't be able to tell that
the
table is 1pt lower.

Another way however would be to press enter at the top of the first
column to push the text in that column down.

I'm putting tables inside of newspaper columns. My first table
doesn't
necessarily fill the first column, but I want the second table to
be at
the
top of the second column. When I use a column break after the first
table, I
cannot find any way to get the second table to line up at the top
of
the
second column. There is always a line above the table, and any
attempt
to
delete that line simply deletes the column break. How can I put a
table
at
the top of the second column?
