Cell WILL NOT vertical center! HELP!
I have set up a form using a table. In some rows, I have had to change the
size of the cells, but just by adjusting the width, not by merging cells. I have one cell that absolutely will not center and I cannot figure out why. There are no indentations and no spacings set either before or after any of the lines within the cell. There is less text than space, so there is plenty of room for the text to center. I am SO frustrated! Where's my WordPerfect???? Can somebody HELP? |

What version of Word is this?
Have you checked the cell margins? Right-click the cell and choose Table Properties, Cell tab - Options button. If the Top and Bottom settings aren't identical (usually 0), you won't be able to center vertically. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Dom5smom" wrote in message ...

Cell WILL NOT vertical center! HELP!
Hi Herb,
I received a copy of the document and could not find out what it was that was causing the problem (and believe me, I looked). The problem could however be overcome by deleting all of the text from the cell and re-entering it manually. Let me know if you want to bang your head against the wall and I will send the file to you. -- Hope this helps.

Cell WILL NOT vertical center! HELP!
It will beinteresting to see what you gurus find.
Recently I had a colleague had a similar problem where one line in the middle of the paragraph had extra space above, i.e. between it and the previous line in the same paragraph. I checked all the usual suspects and used the usual methods to control formatting but to no avail. When the line was selected all seemed fine but using the cursor keys going one character at a time from the start to finish of the line, just near the end I found a character-space that had extra space above it, I could not see any specific character just a very narrow space with extra height. ? The character space was selectable and I did delete it and all was well. The colleague did own up to copying that secection of text from an external document, so who knows? Looking forward to the outcome of your investigations. DeanH "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Yeah, I'd like to look at it, too. -- Suzanne S.
