Can't remove extra table row spacing -- checked all known attribut
Since Word 2003, I sometimes receive document drafts from authors where the
tables have extra spacing in some or all of the rows. I have checked that set row height is turned off, that spacing is set to single, and that there's 0 points of space above and below the paragraph. Under default cell margins, I have set top and bottom margins to 0. This has no effect on the extra spacing. However, I notice that when I OK my selection to set margins to 0, and then go back in under that same options dialog box, the top and bottom margin fields are shown as blank, rather than showing 0. This happens to the problem tables even if I only have a single cell selected. Has anyone run across this problem? Is it just a table bug? |

Turn on the Show Paragraphs function, and see whether there are paragraph
marks in the affected cells. These could cause unwanted vertical spacing. "Henslow" wrote in message ...

Can't remove extra table row spacing -- checked all known attr
I leave that on almost all the time. It's not that either. Does this group
allow url's? A screenshot of the problem is at: http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image1po7.jpg Sample 2 is what I want. I could force the row height on the aberrant rows, but shouldn't have to. "Richard O.

Can't remove extra table row spacing -- checked all known attribut
I figured it out. For some reason, Word would not display the actual Top and
Bottom cell margins for those differing rows. When I cut all but one row, then the setting did show up -- set at .05". Once I changed it to 0, I was able to paste the other rows back in, and they came in at 0. I also checked a different table with the same problem. On that one, I was able to get cell margins to show up on the cell tab of the table options. The margins showed up as .05", and the box was checked for "Same as the whole table." By turning off that option, I was able to change the margins to 0", and then the problem was fixed. So, another quirk, but at least solvable. If anyone wondered where in the heck I'm looking at these settings (and actually cared), they are shown at the images below: http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2201/image2ce6.jpg http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/2643/image3on5.jpg "Henslow" wrote: Since Word 2003, I sometimes receive document drafts from authors where the tables have extra spacing in some or all of the rows.

Since the Cell Options dialog box is for cell-specific settings, it
cannot correctly *display* those if the selection consists of multiple cells with conflicting settings. However, as you've seen, you can use the dialog box *change* the settings for multiple cells at the same time. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Henslow" wrote in message ... I figured it out.
