I am using Word 2007. Is there a way to add space after a table in table formatting? In other words, I don’t want to add space after a table by putting a blank paragraph. I want to just use table formatting as you can do in with css.

Thanks!!

Hi Troy
Have you thought about recording a macro to do what you want then using Word Options / Customize, then selecting your macro from list and adding to your Customized Quick Access Toolbar.

A macro is probably not a good solution for my situation, but I am intrigued by the idea. How would a macro set a space below the table? IE. What is the code? I have done VB before, but haven’t noticed this property.

Thanks!!

One simple option would be to put a blank row of the correct height, with no left, right or bottom border, at the bottom of the table.

Here is a recorded macro that will give you an idea, you can record a wide variety. The macro below insert a single table then add a space so if you run macro twice you would get 2 separate tables with a space between. Using a recorded macro will give you all kinds of possible scenarios.

Code:

    ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=1, NumColumns:= _
        1, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:= _
        wdAutoFitFixed
    With Selection.Tables(1)
        If .Style  "Table Grid" Then
            .Style = "Table Grid"
        End If
        .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True
        .ApplyStyleLastRow = False
        .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True
        .ApplyStyleLastColumn = False
        .ApplyStyleRowBands = True
        .ApplyStyleColumnBands = False
    End With
    Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
    Selection.TypeParagraph

I’m on Word 2003, not 2007, but in Word 2003, if you are happy to turn on text wrapping around your table, then you can set a distance from the text Top, Bottom, Left and Right (separately).  If you could live with text wrapping (perhaps because your table already stretched all the way from left to right margin) that might help.

Ian,
That is a great insight! However, this is one big, unexpected side-effect from changing the table to add text-wrapping. It totally negates the Repeat Header Rows functionality. There is no way to predict when a table will break across a page, and it happens often. If I use the text-wrapping, the part that goes to the next page has no header.

This seems like a big oversight (one of many, I’m sure) on MS’s part. Surely if it can be done in CSS, there ought to be a way to add this functionality into Office.

Thanks any way!!

So it does! And yet it still lets you select the header rows feature. Strange.

There is a suggestion here to use a different style called something like “Body after table” that would be the same as your usual body text style except that it would have some extra “space before” added. I’m not sure that you could get Word to automatically make that the style immediately after a table, but it might suit your needs.
