Text Alignment

[iksotof]

Hello

I have copied and pasted a table and the text alignment in certain cells differs, I have teied all I know to no avail. As you can see from the image the cell 'Provider' appears out of line with the others, I feel I have tried all sorts to no avail, ie table properties then the cell tab etc...

Any ideas would drive down my despair.

Welcome back!

Could you attach a sample document demonstrating the problem? You can remove everything except that row.

In the first place, the cells with Client Name, Adv, Plan and Provider have an extra empty paragraph:

If you look at the paragraph formatting, you'll see that the paragraphs With Client Name, Adv and Plan have 0 spacing before, while the paragraph with Provider has 6 pt spacing before. The space before the second (empty) paragraph pushes the word Provider upwards.
If you set the spacing before to 0 in that cell, the text will be aligned with the cells to the left.
The text in the Outcome cell is lower because there is no empty paragraph after the text.
