Default How do I get rid of white space at top of table when i sort

Lene, Thank you so much for answering this. I had already sorted the table so
I split and then copied and pasted. It worked great! One thing tho (I am not
good with word) How do you delete a page? The table and headings are carrying
over. Thanks again. Denise

You could do as follows:
Before you sort the table, click in the first empty row and select Table
Split table (or press Ctrl+Shift+ Spacebar). Now all the empty rows are in a
separate table.
Now click in the topmost table and sort it (Table Sort).
To join the two tables again, delete the empty paragraph that splits the
tables.

I created a table with 2 columns. I entered data and extra rows so that when
I want to I can add info. I want the gridlines to show and they do. When I
tried to sort the first column alphabetically, it worked correctly except
that it put all the blank rows at the top of the page instead of the bottom
where I wanted them. Can anyone help me with this- I have had this problem
before. Thanks, Denise
