Horizontal orientation in table
Good afternoon. I have a table in Word 2003 and am trying to set up several
rows with double spacing and would like the orientation to be on the bottom. No matter what I try, I can't get the text to move to the bottom of the cells. Any suggestions? |

On the flyout you'll see nine thumbnails for all the combinations of horizontal and vertical alignment; choose any of the three in the bottom row. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Horizontal orientation in table
Hi Stacey,
You can for bottom alignment by selecting the cell(s) concerned and using Table|Table Properties|Cell Bottom. Do note, though, that table paragraphs formatted with spacing after (Format|Paragraph), including the paragraph containing the table cell marker will retain their 'after' spacing. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Stacey" wrote in message ...

Horizontal orientation in table
Thank you for your suggestion. However, I've tried both right-clicking on
the cell and choosing the bottom orientation and also clicking in the cell, going to table properties and formatting the cell to bottom. It just will not move to the bottom.

I think you mean the "Spacing - After" int he paragraph formatting. If so,
then it is set to 0 pt, as is the "Before". "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: Does the paragraph style of the cells in question have a Space After value greater than zero?

Horizontal orientation in table
When you select double spacing (or any other kind of Multiple spacing), the
extra space is added below the text. If you want the text at the bottom, you might try instead using Exactly spacing, which puts the extra space above the text. -- Suzanne S.

peach!! And thank you to all the others that gave their suggestions. "Suzanne S.

Horizontal orientation in table
Setting it in paragraph formatting overrides the setting in the
paragraph style in just that one paragraph, and might in turn be overridden the next time you apply a style that doesn't have a Space After of zero.
