Aligning text in columns
When columns consist of several lines (in one row), I'm having trouble
aligning the text horizontally, especially when one column has much text, and in the next I only want to add a line or two. The only solution seems to use the enter-key a lot, but any adjustments made in the next column disturbs the alignment again. Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks, Michael |

Aligning text in columns
7M was telling us:
7M nous racontait que : When columns consist of several lines (in one row), I'm having trouble aligning the text horizontally, especially when one column has much text, and in the next I only want to add a line or two.

Thanks, Use one row per paragraphs instead of having many paragraphs in one cell. You can hide the borders if you want all those paragraphs appears as if they are in the same cell.. Very often I have to re-format documents for my clients,. I see this all the time (many ¶ in one cell to align the text in those cells with text in adjacent cells). The first thing I do is add cell borders with the pencil from the Tables border, and then I remove all the extra ¶. After that, editing the table is a breeze. -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |

Aligning text in columns
Use a table instead of columns. Start a new row each time you need
things to align. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...ingColumns.htm for explanation. -- 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.

I suspect he's already using a table since he posted in the tables NG and
referred to a row. -- Suzanne S.
