Resolved: Keeping Two Tables Together in Frame 6.0

[Theresa Zamborsky]

Hi Stuart,
 
I think this might be our solution!  I played around with it a few weeks
ago, but had to run it past the group just this week, so that's why I
haven't replied back to you until just now.
 
Thanks so much for sending me the suggestion!
 
Theresa

Theresa,

Try putting a soft return (Shift+Enter) between the two table anchors, 
and set the second table to two orphan rows.  You may have to play 
around with the font size of the blank anchoring pgf, or use the 
negative Space Above/Space Below trick to get the white space right. 
But if your script can handle the soft return, I think this will work. 
See attached file.

best,
