adding text changes adjacent cell height

[addajio]

....I've consulted FP 2002 online tutorials in addition to the FP Help and
understand the basics, and am able to get 95% of my first Webpage ever.
2 Questions:

1] In a new 4 cell table, when I click in any cell to type text, it starts
in the center/left of the cell. Do I need to "Pre-format" the cell somehow to
start typing at the top of the cell? My problems seem to stem from this
inability to start anywhere in the cell...in my case, at the top - and the
only way I found to get access is to repeatedly hit Enter, which changes the
height of finished, adjacent cells.

2]After flailing around for hours, I did get my final 3 cells content as I
wanted it, [text and jpg's] , but with a large empty space at the bottom from
all the Enter keystrokes. So I go to Table Properties and try to change the
height [using Pixel or even Percent changes] but I can not bring the bottom
border up to meet the content...nothing in the tutorial addresses this, and
my search here turned up "0"...thanks, addajio

1) Right click the cell, and under properties, select the proper
formatting/alignment.

2) Delete all the enter keystrokes you don't want in code/html view.

Thanks for the quick reply Tom. Just to be certain, when you say "under
properties" do you mean cell and/or table properties?

As for the HTML editing, I hadn't thought of that [newbie].

Switching to HTML view, I did find a number of these, not all together though:

<p style="line-height: 150%">
</p>

and removed them, and it did allow me to bring the bottom border up to
within 2 inches of the content, so I guess I'll try playing in the HTML view
to get the rest unless you have a suggestion.

Thanks again

....thanks to all here for their help. For future searches on this topic I'll
report that I did return to HTML edit, and by removing an adequate number of
these:

"<p> " raised the border, thus fixing the problem, but I would still ask:

Aren't I supposed to be able to raise the bottom border [shorten the height
of the Cell/Table by plugging in an appropriate number on the Cell/Table
Properties box? One of my 3 Cells adjusts in this way, but I am locked out of
manual sizing on the other 2. Any suggestions why?
Thanks addajio

Use Cell properties to set vertical alignment to top.

All cells in the same row will have the same height as the tallest cell in
the row. All cells in the same column will have the same width as the
widest cell in the row. The width and/or height of any cell will adjust to
accommodate its contents.

Thanks for the follow up - actually, all 3 cells are/were vertically aligned
to "Top"...
at least I was correct there. Thats the problem with learning a new program,
we seem to find/create problems that aren't specifically addressed in general
documentation...or we just can't see the forest...

Appreceate the help!

Use Cell properties to set vertical alignment to top.

All cells in the same row will have the same height as the tallest cell in
