Hi Rick One small but important detail: if you set the Space Below Pgf to -2pt, you also have to change the Default Font size of that paragraph to 2 pt. It will not work if the font size is larger than 2 pt. I also see that the Space Below Pgf value changes automatically if you change the font size afterwards. So, the order should be:
1. In the Paragraph Designer, set the Default Font Size to 2 pt. 2. Set the Space Below Pgf to -2 pt. 3. In the Table Designer, set Space Above to -2 pt. You may also want to create a dedicated paragraph format for "anchor paragraphs", for example a format called "z_anchor". I also give this z_anchor "variable" (non-fixed) line spacing because I also use it for anchored frames.
