How to remove paragraph spacing in word on mac
Remove paragraph mark pilcrow between tables. Short Answer: Command-8 (-8) There’s a keyboard shortcut for toggling invisible characters (like paragraph marks, and spaces, and tabs) in Microsoft Word on a Mac and as far as I know it’s worked in every version, since the very beginning. So, how do I remove the (manually formatted) space between tables using a different method- one that doesn’t require dragging and deleting every last table below the manually-formatted space?Įdit Mike Kaganski & Ajilittoz: once set to be displayed via View > Formatting Marks I can’t remove the paragraph mark pilcrow by selecting it/the line it’s on and pressing delete I get no response from doing this- the pilcrow, and thus the space, remains.įINAL EDIT/QUICK ANSWER: on mac, be sure to press del ( Fn + Backspace) not backspace, to remove the paragraph break, and thus the gap between the tables. Command-8 to show them, Command-8 again to hide them. This enables you to change the settings for how Word treats paragraphs across page breaks and also manage the space between paragraphs. This process gets old when it needs to be repeated x number of times for the number of tables in the document.

The problem with this method is that it then needs to be repeated for any further tables below to eliminate the space between them and the bottom table, I again end up dragging them up to meet it, then deleting the left-over empty remaining table. Occasionally I end up in a situation where two tables exist, with a manually-formatted space between them (line break/breaks), and I want to remove this space, so that they are both touching teach other at their bottom/top borders.Ĭurrently the way I have been doing this is by selecting the bottom table then dragging it up to touch the top one, then deleting the empty, leftover table that remains.
