Hi Folks,

In this post I cover how to make a table take full height on a page in MS Word. When you try to make a table occupy the full height of the page, you may have set the table margins to 0 but still notice that there’s some left over bottom margin left before content spills over to the next page. Why is that bottom margin there and how do you get rid of that bottom margin?

The bottom margin is due to the line of text right after the table. To minimise this bottom margin, simply reduce the font size of the text on that line to the minimum (1 point).

That’s all for now. Till next time, happy document creation.

Hi Folks,

In this post I briefly cover how to create full-width underline in MS Word. Full width underline can give a very appealing effect especially right under the title at the top of a document. Here’s how to achieve it.

Just add a top or bottom border to some text.

To create double underline

• Add some blank space on a line
• Add a bottom border under this first line of text
• Go to the next line
• Add some spaces on the second line
• Add a top border to the line.

You can adjust line spacing to adjust the vertical space between the double lines.

That’s all for now. Till next time, happy document creation.
