Sounds like you don't need tables at all, but rather Text Boxes.

Each line is a specific width, set by the margins of the paragraph. If
your
left margin is indented, then there isn't enough room on that line to
fit a
whole line's worth of stuff on it. If the stuff is merely two
rectangles,
then the second one gets pushed onto a new line.

that's the file. for some reason the yellow table is pushed into a
new
page which I don't want. I just want the four on one page but don't
understand what's getting in the way.--

Thanks. what do you mean by "indented" not allowing room next to it?


I actually started out with one table of four cells actually, but I
needed more control over each cell as when printing four postcards,
the
point of all this, the interior alignment combine with differing page
margins(top left cell has upper left margins while lower right has
lower
right ones) results in slightly different ultimate margins for each
card. So I'm trying to gain control of each cell individually to move
them separately as needed.

And I actually got an Avery template which uses four separate tables,
but it confused me so I'm just starting from scratch with the
objective
to learn how Word works with tables in general as they're always
causing
me problems

and what are these boxes behind the four tables? are these text boxes?
whatever they are, what are their purpose? from I can see you put your
content right into the tables. I believe this is the avery template.

All I see there is a grid of four rectangles, spaced just as you want them.

If your Word document with "Show Non-Printing Characters" turned on has
"little boxes" on the line to the left of the wrong items, then they might
be characters that don't exist in any font installed on your computer. You
can simply delete them.

Thank you. Office 2010. I've tucked away all your tips for next time. It's been a blur as to what I've went through up til now but it's all working out and I have a better grip on Word now. Still working on it...
