Table Position on page relative to footer "Stephan Laska" <Ask & maybe I'll Tell> 23.08.2006 17:12:32 I want to position my table so that the bottom edge of the table is even with the bottom margin of the page. the table is not static, ie: on different iterations of the document the table will add rows. File->PageSetup margins are all 0.5" all around Table properties, table tab, vertical position... I've tried top, bottom, center, inside, outside, relative to page, margin, paragraph I've only been able to get the table where I wanted by picking a vertical position the proper distance on the page. this needs to be changed each time I adjust the table. is there a better way of doing this? how do i position the table

Re: Table Position on page relative to footer "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 24.08.2006 11:31:17 In the Table Positioning dialog box, setting the vertical position to "Bottom" relative to "Margin" should work. If it doesn't, do the following: Turn of text wrapping for the table. Select it and, on the Forms toolbar, click the Insert Frame button; Word wraps a frame around the table. On the Format menu, click Frame. Set the vertical position to "Bottom" relative to "Margin." Click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stephan Laska" wrote in message news:e4oLPdtxGHA.3608[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: Table Position on page relative to footer "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 24.08.2006 11:37:04 Correction: Of course, I meant to write "turn OFF text wrapping." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message news:ezn1RD3xGHA.2396[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...

First all, thanks for your help. yes, it does work. what wasn't obvious (to me, or anyone here at the office) is that the bottom margin setting doesn't accommodate any footer appearing on that page, so the table was superimposed on the footer.

Re: Table Position on page relative to footer "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 24.08.2006 13:15:04 Glad I could help. And, yes, a footer with "too much" text in it will expand, pushing the page contents upwards, but it won't actually change the bottom margin. If footers are big through-out the document (or section), consider increasing the bottom margin. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stephan Laska" wrote in message news:%23sA2503xGHA.1256[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...
