Making gap between rows ?
Hi, I've quite a complicated form, with lots of Tables formatted to create
fields to be filled in. Title in one cell, fill in space in the adjacent R/H cell etc. The top row of the table is tight against the top border of the table, and I've separated lower rows with a carriage return. Is there a way of removing the carriage returns and forcing a narrow gap, say 1mm, inside the outer Table border, and between the rows (NOT the cells) to keep the rows close, but distinct ? I've tried all permutations of Table/Properties/Format but can't get the result I want Many Thanks |

Making gap between rows ?
If what you have are single-row tables each separated by a return and if what
you want is to reduce the space between the tables, reduce the point size and spacing after for the return to say 3 points and zero space after.

You can insert a blank row and remove borders if desired. Or you could add
Space After/Space Before to the text in the cells, as apropriate. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Graham" wrote in message ...

Making gap between rows ?
HI Pam
Thanks for the reply. No, they are generally 5-6 row tables, and I'd like the rows within each table separated by a tiny amount, just to make them distinct boxes. I've done it with carriage returns, but thought there may be a better way to do it, that can be easily changed if necessary.

Making gap between rows ?
HI Suzanne, Thanks for your help as well. 'Space Before' seems to create a
space within the cell border, I'm trying to create space, or a buffer, outside of the cell border, between two horizontal Rows of Cells. I had assumed that there was a format function to do this that I just hadn't been able to find, If not I'll have to go for a single full width shallow blank cell bbetween each existing Row, but it seems an awfully tedious way of achieving something, that appears relatively simple ?

Well, a simpler solution is to use one of the double grid lines between the
rows. PamC Graham wrote: HI Suzanne, Thanks for your help as well.
