Keep paragraph with table

[Timothy DeWees]

Thanks Stuart, I'm sure I will get the spacing just right. I'm just so busy converting this massive document so some other writers can begin revising the content, that I haven't taken much time for fine tuning the pgf's. I like to do the tweaking later when nobody is waiting on me. That's one of the things I love about frame. I'm only using a handful of pgf's in this document and will be able to easily make formatting changes at any time during the conversion and revision process.

Tim,

You shouldn't get any extra white space.  Double check the the two Space settings, and make sure their absolute values are equal to each other and as large as or larger than the font size of the anchor pgf. For example, if your anchor pgf font is 11pt, make the Space Below -12pt and the table's Space Above -12pt.  The table should then begin right below the pgf preceding the anchor pgf.  (Also check Space Below in the preceding pgf, and Space Above in the anchor pgf -- Frame will use the larger of the two if they are non-zero.)

HTH,

s.
