Default header issue

Hi

I'm using Word 2002

Trying to create a document that has a table in the header, and then a table
in the document text area. In the header, the last row contains text that I
want to sit right on top of the table in the document text area, but in what
I've created there is a line space between the two tables.

From Word's help files I've tried to drag the margin boundary on the
vertical ruler, but although the boundary seems to change whilst I'm doing
that, as soon as I let go, it just returns to where it was.

Hope that makes sense - any ideas?

Cheers

Hi JIP,

Any reason you can't put the whole table into the body of the document and
use 'Heading rows repeat'?

If you can't do that, you could put the table in the header inside a
borderless text box. If you then format its positioning to match that of the
table in the body, you should be able to get the effect you want.

Cheers

Although I would second Bob's recommendation, the issue here is twofold:

1. You'll need to set your header margin such that the table exactly fills
the space between the header margin and top margin.

2. Wherever you have a table, Word requires at least one paragraph of plain
text (even if empty) following the table. This is what is causing your
space. Display nonprinting characters so that you can see the empty
paragraph. It may suffice to format the font as 1 point, but often it causes
fewer problems to format it as Hidden (because you can then see and work
with it when you display nonprinting characters). Naturally, you'll need to
hide nonprinting characters before the empty paragraph will disappear.

Many thanks - did just that - wasn't aware of that function.

Again, many thanks - tried Bob's solution and it works. Also tried yours,
and it works as well. Thankyou for your time.

Always better to just repeat the heading rows when this is a possibility;
occasionally users have other needs that have to be filled with the
"headings in the header" method.

Sorry, Paul--confusing you with the Mac MVP who signs himself Bob but uses
the screen name CyberTaz. Guess I'd better stick with "macropod."
