Repositioning a table
There may be other ways, but the way I do it is to select the whole table,
cut it, enter a few paragraph returns and paste it back in. "++++Jack++++" wrote: I created a table, but have it starting at the top margin.. want to reposition it down several lines, how can I do that?? TIA Jack |

Repositioning a table
1. Copy (cut) the table to the clipboard.
2. Enter the blank lines you need. 3. Paste. If there's a more glamorous way to do this, I'll learn along with you when it's posted. "++++Jack++++" wrote: I created a table, but have it starting at the top margin.. want to reposition it down several lines, how can I do that?? TIA Jack |

Repositioning a table
This might depend on your version of Word but in 2003 you should be able to
do Ctrl+Home followed by as many Enters as you want. -- Enjoy, Tony "++++Jack++++" wrote in message ink.net... I created a table, but have it starting at the top margin.. want to reposition it down several lines, how can I do that?? TIA Jack |

Repositioning a table
1. Press Ctrl+Home to get to the very beginning of the table. Press Enter to
insert a new empty paragraph above the table. Add Space Before/After to this paragraph to get the desired amount of space. 2. Alternatively, if the table doesn't have a repeating heading row, just insert another row at the beginning of the table, set the row height to the desired amount, and omit any borders you have on the rest of the table. 3. In Word 2000 or above, you can drag the table to the desired position, but this results in its being wrapped, which may or may not cause other problems. -- Suzanne S.

TIA Jack Put the cursor to the left of the first character in the top left cell and press Enter. The new paragraph that creates will be above the table instead of being in the cell. This "trick" works only in that specific position. I'm not sure what version introduced this (2000? 2002?). A method that worked before that, and still works, is to put the cursor in the top left cell and click Table Split Table. -- 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. |
