Float table to bottom of page in Word 2007
Is it possible to float a table to the bottom of a page in Word 2007?
I am making a template for revisable documents for work (specs, routines etc) and I want the front page to contain the document title, and a table of revisions. I want to float this table to the bottom of the page. So as I add rows to it, it grows upwards towards the title (which is at top of page, and not middle.)
Is this possible?
Solution 1:
Assuming that you are using a page break on your title page, then
- Insert your table after the title (I'd insert it on a new line so that it doesn't have the title's style)
- Right click the table and select “Table Properties...”.
- In the “Table” tab, “Text wrapping”, select “Around”, which makes the nearby “Positioning...” button active.
- In the “Positioning” dialog, select vertical position as “Bottom” relative to “Margin”.
When adding to the table, it should now grow upward.
Solution 2:
I ended up with inserting a table that covered the whole page. One column, two rows. Bottom row aligns to bottom.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.
