Hi Phil, I think there is some difference in the default styles for tables. i had a similar problem when opening html files that consisted mostly of tables. What I did was modify the "Table Contents" style in the document. Go to the Styles Navigator, select the "table contents" style- (right click) then select modify. In the indents and spacing tab there are options for padding above and below the row... change both to 0 I don't know if that's what you need or not. -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
