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.

When I flow xml files into these templates , there are tables that when flowed are breaking into 2 columns. The top row of the portion of the table that is in the second column has spacing in the first row that allows the top rows of the table in both columns to be aligned. See the attached tif file for an example of the table. I am trying to create a table that flows like this for another template. I can't figure out how to set the table formatting so that the table flows into 2 columns, and the top rows are aligned? What do I need to do to accomplish this.
