Bullets/Tables
I have a two column table. Somehow 10 lines of text in
one column does not come down to the same place as 10 lines of text in the other column. The left column text appears slightly above, out of line, with the second column's text. The second column has bullets in it, put in using the bullet button. It looks like there is space above or below those bullets in the paragraph. I checked the paragraph setting it says 0" before and after the paragraph...I can't figure it out! HELP! Thanks. |

You'll get that effect if the bullet is a different size: eg 12 point
bullet, 10 point text would have the effect of an extra 2pt leading. Select the bulleted paragraphs, open the Bullets and Numbering dialog, select your bullet, click Customize, click Font, check the size. "Christina" wrote in message ... I have a two column table.

Thanks. I thought I checked that...but went and double
checked it again -- and nothing was selected as a size, so maybe that was it. Here's the other weird thing (that may have actually been the wierd thing from the get- go)...in print preview it looks fine, it prints fine, but in normal view it looks off...just curious why this might be? It's for a resume, so if sent electronically and viewed normally, it doesn't look good... Thanks for any help you can offer. _c -----Original Message----- You'll get that effect if the bullet is a different size: eg 12 point bullet, 10 point text would have the effect of an extra 2pt leading.

If you're sending your document as a resume, convert it to PDF. Speaking as
an employer, I HATE resumes that arrive as Word documents -- there's a security issue, they often seem to use strange fonts, and -- as you observe -- the presentation is partly dependent on how the document happens to open. And one is not inclined to be sympathetic or spend time on it! PDF looks much more professional and sets you above (some of) the crowd -- or rather, Word looks cruddy and sets you below. wrote in message ... Thanks.
