WD98: Blank Line Placed Between Header and First Line of Text (189760)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q189760 SYMPTOMS
When a table in the header extends into the document body, a blank line appears
between the header and the first line of text.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Word. When a table is inserted or placed
in a document, a paragraph mark is always inserted below the table. In addition,
a paragraph mark always precedes a table in Word. In this case it is used to
store paragraph, section, or document formatting.
WORKAROUND
To avoid having the blank line appear when the document is printed, follow
these steps:
- On the View menu, click Header/Footer.
- Select the paragraph mark at the end of the table in the header. If the
paragraph marker in not visible, click the Show/Hide button on the
Standard toolbar.
- On the Format menu, click Paragraph.
- Click the Indents And Spacing tab.
- From the Line Spacing list, select Exactly. In the At box, type .01 in
or .7 pt and click OK.
The blank line is now very small, making it "invisible."
NOTE: You can format the font as Hidden for that paragraph marker too.
