Hi,

I've created a table in FrontPage... in some cells I've used bullet points... unfortunately, there is always an unwanted row within those cells below the last bullet point.

How do I make the cell border go directly below the last bullet point (and eliminate the space?)

I realize this is somewhat off topic, but this message board has been amazing for me and is the best place for me to go when I need MS Office assistance...

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Jared

Take a look at the actual HTML code generated to see if you have any Cell Padding. I would lower that to zeo to see if that helps.

Thanks for helping...

I put the text "there is an unwanted space below this line" as the text beside the bullet with the unwanted space underneath

Here's the body:

Rich (BB code): 
<body bgcolor="#FFFFCC">

<p align="center"><font face="TiltAWhirl" size="7">HOTELS</font></p>
<div align="center">
  <center>
  <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="691" id="AutoNumber2" height="204">
    <tr>
      <td width="110" align="center" bgcolor="#111111" height="18">
      <font face="Harvest" size="4" color="#FFFFCC">Hotel Site</font></td>
      <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#111111" height="18">
      <font face="Harvest" size="4" color="#FFFFCC">Cut</font></td>
      <td width="524" align="center" bgcolor="#111111" height="18">
      <font face="Harvest" size="4" color="#FFFFCC">Description</font></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td width="110" align="center" height="25">
<font face="Harvest"><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Bha9z7pj1ss&offerid=91953.10000019&type=3&subid=0" >
<font size="4">ParkPlaza.com</font></a><font size="4">
		
		
	


	

		show
	
</font></font></td>
      <td width="40" align="center" height="25" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">5%</td>
      <td width="524" align="center" height="25">
      <ul>
        [*]there is an unwanted space below this line
      [/list]
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td width="110" align="center" height="25">
 </td>
      <td width="40" align="center" height="25" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"> </td>
      <td width="524" align="center" height="25">
       </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td width="110" align="center" height="19">
       </td>
      <td width="40" align="center" height="19" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"> </td>
      <td width="524" align="center" height="19">
       </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
  </center>
</div>

</body>

If you're going to paste the HTML, do so as TEXT.

Please put it in the
Code: 
 tags.

Edit: Argh. Too late. I went and edited your post to fix it.

Well, there's a lot of extraneous code in there, but if you make 2 particular changes, it should fit the table to the text in the cells:

#1:

In this portion of code
Code: 
  <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="691" id="AutoNumber2" height="204">

Remove: height="204"


#2:

In this portion of code:
Code: 
      <ul>
        [*]there is an unwanted space below this line
      [/list]

Remove: the < ul> and < / ul> tags

Hi Kristy... neither of those seem to work... thanks for trying to help... much appreciated. Please let me know if you have any other ideas? (perhaps it's something like a spacing problem... or something that can be fixed without having to edit the html directly)

Not sure, I've never used Frontpage.

The ul tags are "proper" coding, but you can just as easily remove them (leaving the li tags) and still have the bullet points. However, using the ul tags will give you some extra padding at the top and bottom of the list.

Also, Frontpage seems to be setting the table to a specific height, as well as a specific height for every cell in each row. I believe that'll be part of the issue, as well.

I have frontpage at home. I will try to looka t this tonight.

I have noticed this in the past using frontpage which is why I suggested looking at the cell padding. BUt evidently that wasn't what fixed the issue.

Have you tried making lyour table width wider?
