header issue
Hi
I'm using Word 2002 Trying to create a document that has a table in the header, and then a table in the document text area. In the header, the last row contains text that I want to sit right on top of the table in the document text area, but in what I've created there is a line space between the two tables. From Word's help files I've tried to drag the margin boundary on the vertical ruler, but although the boundary seems to change whilst I'm doing that, as soon as I let go, it just returns to where it was. Hope that makes sense - any ideas? Cheers |

header issue
Hi JIP,
Any reason you can't put the whole table into the body of the document and use 'Heading rows repeat'? If you can't do that, you could put the table in the header inside a borderless text box. If you then format its positioning to match that of the table in the body, you should be able to get the effect you want. Cheers "JIP" wrote in message ...

header issue
Although I would second Bob's recommendation, the issue here is twofold:
1. You'll need to set your header margin such that the table exactly fills the space between the header margin and top margin. 2. Wherever you have a table, Word requires at least one paragraph of plain text (even if empty) following the table. This is what is causing your space. Display nonprinting characters so that you can see the empty paragraph. It may suffice to format the font as 1 point, but often it causes fewer problems to format it as Hidden (because you can then see and work with it when you display nonprinting characters). Naturally, you'll need to hide nonprinting characters before the empty paragraph will disappear. -- Suzanne S.

header issue
Always better to just repeat the heading rows when this is a possibility;
occasionally users have other needs that have to be filled with the "headings in the header" method. -- Suzanne S.

Sorry, Paul--confusing you with the Mac MVP who signs himself Bob but uses
the screen name CyberTaz. Guess I'd better stick with "macropod." -- Suzanne S.
