I am having problems removing line spacing between a set of columns and paragraph.

I attached a photo of the spacing that I cannot remove. Notice the small grey area on vertical ruler. How do I get rid of this? I believe this is causing that space between column and paragraph.

I have tried deleting those paragraph symbols and it makes no difference.

Thanks!

You have a table here. Display your gridlines and it will help.
The symbol shown below is a cell marker.
Tables
Go to the Layout tab under Table Tools.

Hi Charles,

When I delete that cell icon to remove a gap of space between two areas it deletes more than what's intended.

Do you know how I can delete the cell icon without deleting anything else?

Reword:

That cell icon is causing a gap of space in my document. How do I delete it? When I delete that cell icon it deletes other text and shapes below.

Thanks,

Adam

Amelle, read the article on Tables. Did you turn on display of gridlines for tables?

Cell markers are like paragraph marks. They do not, themselves, use any space in a document. Rather, they indicate a collection of formatting information for the cell (paragraph) that precedes them.

You do not want to be deleting the cell marker. That is one of the easiest ways to turn a table into a mess. You may want to be changing the columns themselves. You may be wanting to merge or split cells.

By default, each cell has an indent on the right and on the left. There is also "padding" on cells.

I have never found the vertical ruler a good way to modify anything in a document. I display it for information.

You may also want to see if there is spacing before formatting in the following paragraph, the one you want to be closer. That is the paragraph that starts "Tap/Ballet." This would be in the paragraph formatting.
