I am copying and pasting tables from another document (Word 2007) over to Word 2003 and when I do this, right click on the upper left hand corner of the table, AutoFit, AutoFit to Contents, I am left with unknown spaces. These spaces are ones that cannot be deleted. They're like a paragraphing problem, but I don't know how to edit it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I forgot where the settings are in 2003, but the settings you are looking for are the Cell margins, Cell alignment.

If they are a paragraph problem, just select one cell, and go under Format/Paragraph. Zero out the After Line( or Paragraph, I forgot). Then just use format painter.

This unfortunately doesn't help. The cell alignment doesn't do anything with the spaces and only aligns the text to the field. I don't see any configuration for "cell margin". The before and after spacing is already at 0 pt, single line spacing. – O_O Jul 1 '11 at 19:29
Look under the Table menu/ table properties/ default Cell Margins. office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/… – surfasb Jul 1 '11 at 19:36

How to fix this: Select the table, then right-click -> Table Properties. On the Row tab, disable "specify height" and you are golden.
