Bottom cell padding

[Mike]

I am about ready to throw my computer out the window. Word
tables can be so frustrating sometimes.

I am trying to do a simple table where the text in each
cell is located all the way at the bottom of the cell,
right above the line. No matter how much I try with cell
margins and such, Word seems to want to leave space the
equivalent of one line of text between the bottom-most
line of text and the cell line.

For example, it looks like this...

______________________________

How do I hate word sometimes,
let me count the ways.
______________________________

What I am looking for is to have "let me count the ways."
right on top of the line, not one line up. There are
nothing extra after "ways." or any other items in the rows.

The paragraph style does not have any "Space After"? The bottom cell margin
is set to 0"? The paragraph is the last one in the cell (ending with the
end-of-cell marker, not a paragraph mark)?

Can you adjust the bottom margin upwards? I would bet you've already tried this and it's just jogging the text upward to adjust.

Hmm. Try highlighting the row, cell, or table. Right-click, and select "Cell alignment." From there, select one of the views on the bottom row (w/ the text hugging the bottom margin).

Other than that....sorry...I'm clueless.
