A better way to see blank lines in a document or a header/footer is Edit/ Show (or Cmd-Y). This has the added effect of showing things like spaces as small dots. >The idea of a table that can have text flow around it is a good one but then >you are not really using it as a table (in the Word 4.0 sense) but as a >graphic. This is the second time I've seen someone suggest that Word doesn't allow text to flow around a table. Try the following steps: --Select the table (easiest way is to move the mouse over the left edge of the table--cursor points up and to the right instead of up and to the left-- double click to select the first row; then drag down until the whole table is selected). --Format/Position... --Select "center" in the "Vertical" Combo box. --Press the "Preview..." button --Make sure that the margins icon (second from the top on LHS of window) is selected. --The table is now outlined differently than the other parts of your doucment. --You can now click and drag the table anywhere on the page. After droping the table somewhere on the page, click in the gray area around the page, and the text will be redrawn flowing around the table. You can now edit the contents of the table and the text will still flow around it when it is printed. -- Rick Schaut ...{uunet | uw-beaver}!microsoft!richs ";jkalshdg ;algh a;'ga;o rgha'rg 'aer g" <- Developer's Chicken Scratch
