Too much space before and after Tables Publisher 2003

[Alcide]

Hello All,

This is regarding MS Publisher 2003, with the latest updates all installed.

I am having a problem making the text before and after a table appear right
along the edge of a table. The tables are set to Exact, with 0 text box
margins and Layout|Distance from Text set to all zeros. Still, when I move
the table between paragraphs I often get too much space between the table and
the next text line. Paragraphs are set to zero points before and after, too.

This behavior has led me to go back to formatting documents in Word, where I
don't have this problem with tables. However, I am loosing the power of
Publisher for more precise formating, especially font sizing.

Any similar experience with this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there an
inherent problem in Publisher?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Looks like I am having a dialog with myself.

Maybe I should just give up on tables and use textboxes.

I had success with the wrapping style dialog by clicking "square", clearing
automatic and using negative numbers in the distance from text.
