Line Wrapping and Page Layout - Re-worded and Re-posted
Hi Folks - I have a document that looks something like this:
XXXX YYYYY ZZZZZZZZZ So, basically, I have 7 lines. For this particular document, this section must ALWAYS be 7 lines. XXXX and YYYY can be multi-line items. Here's my problem: If XXXX or YYYY wrap to the next line, this forces all other lines to "go down one line", which forces ZZZZZ down, etc. Is there anyway to wrap the multi-line XXXX or YYYY area without forcing another paragraph mark? Thanks for your help. Notes: The lines are graphic lines. They do not move with the text, so that is not a problem. Also, XXXX and YYYY are currently the result of an ASK/REF combo. -- Michael |

One way is to use a table whose row heights are fixed. Then you can also use
borders instead of graphics to create the lines. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Michael" wrote in message ...

Here's the problem with that approach ... say I create a 7 row table. If the
content in the first row wraps to a second line, then the border ("line") does not get applied to the first line of the table cell. Is there a workaround for this scenario?

I'm not sure what, exactly, you are trying to accomplish. If you want the
lines at a specified location, I guess you could use the table cells to position the text and keep using the graphics to create the lines. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Michael" wrote: Here's the problem with that approach ... say I create a 7 row table.

Alternatively, if you want a grid of lines, create it as a drawing object and
position it behind the document text. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote: I'm not sure what, exactly, you are trying to accomplish.
