CG>In Word6:       Does anyone know how I might align table text to
CG>                the bottom of a cell?

For those of you who remember *this* question, here's my 
workaround:
Instead of using a three-column table, with the rightmost column 
struggling to have a right-aligned, bottom-of-cell aligned piece 
of text (actually an "operator-check" mark), we reduced the table 
from three columns to two columns, widening the second column to 
the right-hand side of the page, and created a new Style called, 
oh, "Operator check, but within a table cell". The style has a 
right-aligned tab mark set at the 6" mark. 
We key in our paragraph text, and at the end of the paragraph, we 
tap the  key once, then we key in our operator-check mark. 
The check-mark is right aligned (thanks to the  key and the 
tab setting) and is at the bottom line of the cell paragraph. 
Now, if I find a *better* way of doing it, I'll let you know. But 
for *that* you gotta send 410 in unmarked bills .... (vbg!)
