 Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 5:17 pm Post subject: Tables always generate an extra page. |
 |
|
| When ever I use a table format to make a one-page resume, OO always presents me with a second one. I make sure the table has no extra rows and that the last row and its text fits on the page, but when the last row is at all close to the bottom margin, OO generates a second page with an empty cell on it. Is there a way to fix this? |

OOo always inserts a paragraph after a table. First try would be to format that single paragraph to as small a font size as you can. With any luck this will bring it back to the first page.
It this does not work, keep the small format and subtly reduce the size of the table. Very small decrements should give you the result you want.

| With the insertion point (cursor) in the last cell of your table, to the right of any cell content, press shift+ctrl+delete. That will remove the trailing paragraph. |

Thank you, Obi-Wan! Is there list of special key tricks somewhere that will teach me some others? |

| Patience! To he who persistent is, come will the force! (I think Yoda worded it approximately like that.) |
