Remove blank line after a table.

[Norbert]

Does anyone know how to supress the blank line after a table. I make forms
and when I use a table to the top and bottom margins of the page, Word
insists on placing a blank line after the table causing the document to be
two pages instead of one.

I have been complaining to Microsoft about this since MS Works. Anyone have
any ideas?

Norbert,

You might consider creating a new style called "After Table Paragraph," and
then in its font's menu check "Hidden." Select the paragraph mark after each
table and make it this new style.

Thanks Steven. I have tried this method to no avail. What I end up doing is
setting the font to 1pt and 0 before and after spacing. Not perfect, but the
only workaround I have been able to devise in the last 16 years that works.

Norbert,

I guess you sucked me in. I should have paid more attention to your
statement "I have been complaining to Microsoft about this since MS Works."
so as to realize that you have already seen all the standard work-arounds.
Setting it at 1 point was going to be my second suggestion.

Not a problem Steven. No deception intended. I'm just a little tired of
dealing with what should be an advanced suppression setting. I thought maybe
some of the gurus had a better workaround for 2007.

Have a great weekend!
