Remove space between line and table in Word

Question

I need to remove the mysterious space marked in this screenshot:

I searched before and found some answers in this previous thread: How to remove extra space between line of text and table but unfortunately it didn't help in my case. All line spacing after the line is set to 0 and Single as well as all the line spacing in the table itself.

It's quite a mystery!

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Since you mentioned you already followed the suggestions given in this question without success, I'm assuming you already set the paragraph spacing to the minimum, so we'll check the table settings.

Right click the table and select Table Properties.

Is Text Wrapping set by any chance to Around?

If so, try either of these two options:

Option 1

Click the Positioning button and set the vertical position to 0 cm relative to Paragraph.

Option 2

Set Text Wrapping to None. This may slightly break the design of your document as it will move your table inline with the text and may require you to adjust it further.

Solution 2

Check line spacing options in Word:

And try selecting line options after selecting text.

Check the results before and after:

The OP mentioned trying the advice in this question, which includes setting the spacing to the minimum, without success.
