merge info into table
When I try to merge from an excel file to create a table of several rows, I
created a table of one row with merge data inside. When I look at completed doc I find a blank space between all entries. How do I merge into a table without the blanks space between rows? Is the cursor position significant? I've tried saving w the cursor in every position possible. |

merge info into table
Is this a blank row or an empty paragraph?

Suzanne: Thanks for getting back to me.
It looks like a blank line below the one-line tables. It could be a blank row or a blank paragraph. I could email you what I see if you like. Cyrus "Suzanne S.

merge info into table
Table | Show Gridlines. If it's an empty row, you'll see an empty row.
Ctrl+* to display nonprinting characters. If it's an empty paragraph, you'll see a paragraph mark. I assume you're creating a catalog/directory-type merge. When you do this, you need to include just *one* table row followed by the default empty paragraph. If you have an extra paragraph or table row, this will be replicated for every record. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne:
I see an empty row (nothing). Table/show gridlines shows nothing. Ctl+* does nothing. I see no paragraph mark. -- Yes, I'm trying to create catalog/directory merge. I want a table with my data inside (but with no blank lines between entries.) -- When I create the one row table should I be careful I not to put a hard return in last before saving? "Suzanne S.

Suzane
I've found out how to reveal format marks. (Tools etc). I see a paragraph mark between the rows of my final document. If I delete them the doc prints fine. But how do I prevent them in the first place. On the one-row-table-to-be-merged-into I also see the paragraph mark on the line below the one-row table, but I can't delete it.
