I sort of solved the problem. Turns out it's another 3.01 bug. The table and formula had been created in column 1 of a three-column frame. I opened a new, blank document and inserted the table and formula in the blank page (not in a frame). This time the number appeared correctly. I copied and pasted the correct table and formula to the frame and it stayed the same. Checking all the dozens of options for the correct table and formula against the one where the number insisted on being vertically centered revealed absolutely no differences. All the settings are identical. Yet the one created within the frame is bad. And I recreated the formula numerous times within the frame and each time the number stubbornly insisted on being vertically centered. I swear, 3.01 is a seriously buggy mess. This is not the first problem like this that I have had. No wonder Ubuntu decided not to include it in the dist upgrade to Intrepid. Thanks for the assistance. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
