How do I get rid of white space at top of table when i sort
I created a table with 2 columns. I entered data and extra rows so that when
I want to I can add info. I want the gridlines to show and they do. When I tried to sort the first column alphabetically, it worked correctly except that it put all the blank rows at the top of the page instead of the bottom where I wanted them. Can anyone help me with this- I have had this problem before. Thanks, Denise |

How do I get rid of white space at top of table when i sort
You could do as follows:
Before you sort the table, click in the first empty row and select Table Split table (or press Ctrl+Shift+ Spacebar). Now all the empty rows are in a separate table. Now click in the topmost table and sort it (Table Sort). To join the two tables again, delete the empty paragraph that splits the tables. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "concretegirl" wrote: I created a table with 2 columns.

Lene, Thank you so much for answering this. I had already sorted the table so
I split and then copied and pasted. It worked great! One thing tho (I am not good with word) How do you delete a page? The table and headings are carrying over. Thanks again.

Select the content on the page (use the mouse or the keyboard), then press
Delete. In Word, the content of a document is a continuous stream of text. If you delete the content from the last page of the document, that page will be gone. If you delete content on a page in the middle of the document, Word will reformat the document to fill the space. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "concretegirl" wrote: Lene, Thank you so much for answering this.
