Hi Dean,

Thanks for the info. I had emailed my fellow roundtable members and got
this suggestion as well, though they didn't mention the "Keep with next"
idea. That could be very useful.

Thanks again,
Debbie

As you have probably have tried, you can try to align the text with blank
paragraphs, but usually this does not work very well.
To repeat Doug's suggestion, I very often use additional rows for sentences
that must align, but instead of merging after, I tend to "turn-off" the
corresponding border between the cells, so when printed it looks like one
cell. To ensure that these cells remain together, use "Keep with next" (from
the Format, Paragraph options) applied to the text in the furthest-left cell.
This may not be elegant, but it will nesure your alignment of the text for
each bullet point.
Hope this is clear as mud.
Best of luck

Hi Doug,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, that's not possible with the
information that we have. You stated that's "the best way". Is there
another way?

Thanks again,
Debbie

The best way to do it would be to have each bulleted item in a row of its
own and to merge cells in other columns if necessary.

We have a three column table with multiple rows. In some rows there will
be
a paragraph of normal text, followed by 3 or 4 bulleted lines of text. In
the next two adjacent columns we need to line up text with the bulleted
infomation. The table settings appear to be the same, as does the spacing
before and after text in the format paragraph menu.

Can you tell me how to line up the text?

Thanks,
Debbie
