Working with Word 2003, in a document that is used to record minutes of
meetings, a table format was chosen. Each subject etc. is in its own row,
section of the table. On most of the document, the horizontal alignment is
perfect between the columns(4), but about halfway down each page, the
alignment goes off by about a half row. I have formated the whole document
with the same font, made sure the row spacing was set to 1.0. The start of
the next page is aligned ok, but down the page it is off. Not a gradual
drift off, but seems to be in the middle of the page. Prints the same way
so it is not a monitor issue. All entries are pure text. Any suggestions
appreciated.

Hi Meebers,

Have you checked that the paragraphs are all formatted with the same leading/trailing spaces?

If what you are asking me is, after I turn on the format view, all the
spaces appear to be identical. When an entry is made in one of the cells of
the table, no spaces or tabs proceed the text. I have been using arial 9
pt, nothing else. (that I know of). Thanks for your comments.

No, he's saying, when you go to Format | Paragraph, do they all have the
same Spacing Before/After?

I see that I have responded to your detailed description, which seems to be
referring to *vertical* alignment rather than horizontal (references to
rows, etc.). Is this what you mean?

The text in the first column does not align with the text in the second
column. i.e. Reading across, left to right, they are not on the same
horizontal imaginary line. This only happens about midway down each page,
the top portion and the bottom portion of the pages seem ok.

Okay, that's what I thought: it's the vertical position that doesn't align
horizontally. In that case I would definitely have a look at the paragraph
formatting (Spacing Before/After) as well as the cell alignment, cell
padding, etc.
