Adding text to cell or table - urgent help

Can any one help me pleaase? I have added text to a cell or table. Not sure
what it is called exactly as I am only a newbie.
I need to get the bottom line up in some of the tables? I remove the br in
the edit and most move up but cannot get them all.
I have included the address for you to see of the page I am having trouble
with.

appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation. Warm regards, Kyle.

Point your mouse after the last word in every cell (in every <tr> : the common
base line of the 2 cells aligned). Press the delete key. I tried and looks to
work. In some case try again to move the bottom line too? Did you import your
text from a very common Word processor?

my english sintax is not quite perfect. Hope you can understand?

I need to get the bottom line up in some of the tables?

You are talking about specific TDs. The bottoms line of text will not line
up in each row if the two columns have different lenghts of text.

TDs all are of the same height in the same row. So if one TD is pushed
taller due to more content, then all the TDs in that row will be taller.

So, that's just the way it is. Live with it. ;o)

Right click on your mouse if you are on a PC and you can select align TOP from your properties selector. If you need additional help you can email me at pengelhard1 (AT) unl (DOT) edu

I copyed and pasted the page code in my DW. To align top doesn't work even if
to align top and left avery cell is quite a good idea. There is something that
I don't understand and I tried with an empiric method I sometimes use when I
have the same problem. Could it be a DW bug?

Darrel if you look better you will notice that in some case there is some space in both the td but you still can't move the baseline. I'd like to know why too.

Learn to look at your code. All the answers are there. Run away from
people who tell you how to fix things without referring to the code. They
do not know! 8)

Here's some relevant code -

<td width="50%"><font size="2" face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica,
san-serif"><b>Bell
Kristin Dr</b><br>
10 Bayfield Street, <br>
ROSNY<br>
<font color="#990000"><b>Telephone 6228 0558</b> </font>
</font></td>
</tr>

Although hinky (look at those nasty nested font tags), this cell aligns
nicely.
Here's the next row -

<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="baseline">
<td width="50%"><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif"
size="2"><b>Bell
Kristin Dr</b><br>
49 Augusta Rd <br>
LENAH VALLEY<br>
<font color="#990000"><b>Telephone 6228 0558
</b></font></font></td>

Visually, this cell seems too large although the code is identical (mostly)
to the one before. Therefore, the problem cannot reside in this cell.

Here lies the next cell -

<td width="50%"><font size="2" face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica,
san-serif"><b>Bellerive
Quay Surgery </b><br>
Suite 5 Upper Ground Floor Bellerive Quay<br>
BELLERIVE<br>
<font color="#990000"><b>Telephone 6244 2466</b> </font></font>
<p> <---- LOOK
</p> <---- LOOK
</td>

Note that this cell has an empty paragraph in it. This will cause this cell
to be taller than the immediately adjacent cell, thereby stretching both out
of proportion. Delete this empty paragraph tag and you will see an
immediate improvement.

This is why we say again and again that you CANNOT become proficient at DW
without also learning some (lots!) HTML.

Thank you everyone who replied. I will see how I go with your suggestions and post again soon. Thanx heaps..
Kyle.

Murray solution is the only right one. I didn't notice the p tags. Sorry. I
should think about it cause my solution (delete key) just removes those p
tags. But sometimes it happens to me that I'm not able to resize the tr td and
specially some column. Often I have simply to pass to the Layout mode and then
return to Standard to obtain some change. Sometimes this method doesn't work
too and I restart the work from the beginning, doing the same things, and
everything works. In this case I'm sure there is nothing "wrong" in the code.
I'm not always so inattentive like in this case. Somebody had the same
experience?
