deleting ^p before and after table
WORD just drives me crazy somedays.
I have a table below the header. I cannot delete the ^p on top and below the table. The top one is forcing the table down and the bottom is giving me a blank page 2. How do I get rid of them? Don't know what to try other than delete or backspace keys. thanks |

Select each one and format it to a font size of 1 point. It won't be gone, but it will be as small as possible. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

You can also format them as Hidden, which in some ways is preferable.
Although they will show up when you show nonprinting characters (including Hidden text), and this will affect the page layout, it's easy to "lose" paragraphs formatted as 1 point, especially if you forget you did it or someone else (who doesn't know you did it) has to deal with the document. -- Suzanne S.

And now matter how you format the paragraph marks to hide them from view,
you can use a paragraph style to apply the formatting; that makes the task a little easier. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Once you learn to love hidden text and its uses, you'll likely use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H. Regards, Klaus |

Note, however, that sometimes Ctrl+Shift+H seems not to work for paragraph
marks, even when they are displayed and explicitly selected and formatted using that shortcut. -- Suzanne S.

I was referring to previous versions--haven't done enough in Word 2007 to
talk about it. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Klaus Linke" wrote in message ... "Suzanne S.
