Moving Tables in Template
I am creating a newsletter from a WORD template. On the fourth page, the
table does not line up with the Header, and I can't figure out how to move it. When I click on the upper left hand corner and move it, the table either won't line up (because I can't see where it's going) or it moves to a different page. Headers are different odd & even and different first page. Pg 2 lines up just fine, but I think for page 4 I copied the table from pg 1. Is there a "nudge" feature for moving tables? Any suggestions? |

Moving Tables in Template
When you nudge a table using the table handle, you change its wrapping from
None to Around and in the process probably lose all control of it. Go to Table Properties, change the wrapping back to None and use the indent setting to control the alignment. -- Suzanne S.

Moving Tables in Template
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I changed the wrapping back to
NONE, it just moved the table back to where it started. There seems to be "snap" points, because the table will only line up just above or just below (partially over, partially not) the header, which is a fading bar. The printed lines are supposed to line up at the top. The uppermost table row/cell is the same height as the fading bar. If a reference will help, the template I am using is called "Newsletter (Accessory theme, 4-col.) on OfficeOnline templates. It has the fading gold bars at the top with a microphone clip art on the top right. "Suzanne S.

Moving Tables in Template
You can override the grid when moving anything by pressing Alt while
dragging. But you'll have much better success if you leave the table inline. In the template you mention, however, the fading bar is NOT in the header. It is part of the table (there is no header; header and footer margins have been set to 0"). If you will display table gridlines (and text boundaries), I think you'll get a better idea of what's going on. The design is created with a complex table, and some of the table cells contain text boxes. I think this is a recipe for disaster, but YMMV. FWIW, whoever created the template didn't know how to avoid the empty paragraph above the table on p. 2ff., either. -- Suzanne S.

Moving Tables in Template
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
ALT....ALT...So easy, and yet, it took so many posts to figure out. I was pressing CTRL. I am such an idiot. Oh, and in the template, I may have messed something up. I can only click, resize, or move the fading bars when I VIEW/HEADERS. Then, when I move one (like fixing the one on pg4), they all move (unfixing the one on pg2). I thought that meant they were part of the header. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You can override the grid when moving anything by pressing Alt while dragging.
