I've created a table, centred (allegedly)and just about filling a single page. The problem is that, because of a blank line below the table, it isn't truly centred vertically.
I can find no reference to the issue on The Net and Microsoft advise only to centre it in the way I did originally. Apart from making the offending line 1 point in font size and 1 point in paragraph spacing, does anyone know a way of making it disappear completely? Gummo |

Hi Gummo,
You could format the trailing paragraph's font as hidden. That will allow a true vertical centering of the table. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Gummo" wrote in message ...

As macropod says, you can make it Hidden, but, FWIW, mathematically centered
pages aren't really optically centered; I'd be inclined to leave the blank line alone for a more pleasing appearance. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Gummo,
Select the paragraph, then use Format|Font and select 'hidden'. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Gummo" wrote in message ... "macropod" wrote in message ...

In that case, you should be using a label setup (Tools | Letters and
Mailings | Envelopes and Labels), and Word would take care of the layout for you. -- Suzanne S.

I'd looked at that previously but I found it too fiddly. Isn't it only for pages with the same contents in each label? I found the table method (apart from the blank line) quickly adaptable no matter what size the label. Gummo |

No. If you click New Document in the Label dialog, you get a page with the
labels set up as a table, and you can add whatever content you like. -- Suzanne S.
