How to move text up when table row deleted
I have a table with data in it with text below the table(not in table) and i
sometimes delete a few rows. When i delete the rows the text below the table doesnt move up. how can i change this so it moves up but still keeps the page break which is after the text? thanks |

Switch on table gridlines and you'll see what the problem is. Currently
you're selecting the table rows and pressing Delete -- this deletes the *contents* of those rows, but not the rows themselves. To delete the rows, use Delete Rows from the Table menu.

I suspect that you're just deleting the contents of the rows rather than the
rows themselves. If you select a row and press Delete, you're just emptying the row. To delete it you have to either press Backspace (recent versions) or right-click and choose Delete Rows. If you are not displaying table gridlines, do that so you can see what's going on. -- Suzanne S.

If you were really deleting the rows themselves, the text would move up
automatically -- there's nothing else to keep it down. "turneg02" wrote in message news I never said i used the delete button, i delete the rows.

If the text paragraph below the table is formatted with "Keep
lines together" and/or "Keep with next", turn off those options in Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks. turneg02 wrote: I have a table with data in it with text below the table(not in table) and i sometimes delete a few rows.
