I've looked all over > the Help and can't find the answer. > I know what you are saying. The easiest way if you do not have an empty paragraph below the table is to: 1. Copy the table ([ctrl]+[c]) 2. Delete the table (table > delete > table) 3. Insert all the paragraphs you like ([enter][enter][enter]) 4. Paste the table back where you want it ([ctrl]+[v]) HTH -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
