Remove Blank Line Above Tables
I created a bunch of tables in a Word 2007 file, text below the tables are nice and snug with no gaps or extra lines. But when I try to create a header or type above the table, a blank line is automatically inserted between the top of the table and the text. How do I get rid of this? I hit the Show Paragraphs, and nothing shows on the blank line. I just created a blank document, and the problem is not there? Will the problem reappear at random? -- Ray J |

Remove Blank Line Above Tables
If you are creating a header, this should not impact the document body at
all. If you are inserting a heading, then don't you need to have a paragraph to insert it in? If the issue is a table at the top of a page following a page break, you can get around the blank paragraph Word inserts by applying "Page break before" formatting to the first row of the table instead of inserting a manual page break. -- Suzanne S.

In adition to Suzanne's comments: You've checked the paragraph's "Space after" setting? Greetings, Klaus |

Remove Blank Line Above Tables
I have set the paragraph space settings to 'dont add space'. My tables are in the middle of the page and they turn out like this: Table 1: TABLE Instead I want this: Table 1: TABLE and it doesnt matter if I try to snug it up to existing text above it or right click on the table to create a caption. I still get the blank lines... but only when I have bullet points in the table. -- Ray J |
