I am starting to pick up on this negative number trick. For my table
anchor, I had settled on a font at 7pt (I like seeing that tag!), and
the para catalog defaulted to line space 8 pt. No space above or
below. My tables are set to 0 pt above. The white space between a text
block and a table is then just from the table anchor (plus a bit from
the regular body tag, I think.) I had thought it looked a wee bit too
tiny, so I will experiment some more, based on the numbers discussed
here. I am doing pioneer work here, so the nice people who kindly
responded here have now provided me with some sales arguments for
adding a table anchor to our catalogs. Thank you very much!!
The main advantage of the "negative number trick" is that if a table
happens to flow to the top of a page, there will be no white space above
it. Without the trick, you'll get white space between your top margin
and your table -- not a good thing.
