I am having a difficult time adding space between a table and paragraphs underneath.
I am trying to create a table style that has some bottom margin or spacing but it doesn't seem to work... note that I am not referring to cell spacing.
For individual tables, I had some success by changing Table Properties-->Text wrapping to around, and setting the positioning to top 3pt, bottom 3pt, and some large number for left and right.
Though text wrapping is greyed out when I am creating a table style.
Any ideas?

Will it be ok for you if the paragraph style is having a top margin/spacing?
If yes, please try duplicating a style and modify it , From the Format> select the option "paragraph" and add top spacing as desired.Shall give the step if unable to find.

I'm trying to achieve this effect:
|First phrase...............................................Second phrase|
Where the | markers above denote the page margins, and ....... represents a 'horizontal space' (which may or may not use space as the character, a 'dot' as above, or any other character), which effectively expands to take as much space as possible between the two pieces of text.
This is pretty common, e.g., when designing a table of contents manually*, or when trying to achieve the kind of "chapter X...........page Y" effect in headers.
I know there's a specific and easy way to introduce this kind of 'expanding horizontal space', because I've done it in the past. But I just can't find it anymore. I just vaguely remember that the relevant menu allowed you to specify what character you wanted to use in this 'expanding space'. Also, it may or may not have involved the use of tabs.
Any ideas?
* Yes I know about the "Table of Contents" menu option, no I'm not trying to design a table of contents, it was just an example :)
I remembered.
Create a tab stop on the horizontal ruler above the page, right click to convert from a 'left' stop to a 'right' stop, and drag that stop all the way to the right margin.
Then, next time you press 'tab', the tab will automatically push any content to the right of your cursor, all the way to the right margin.
If you optionally also specify a fill character in the 'Tabs' tab of the 'Paragraph' formatting menu, the tab space will be filled with that character.
I have a long table. Not realizing that headings inserted inside a table don't appear in the Outline View or the Navigation Pane (See Blom's answer to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_word-mso_other/headings-do-not-appear-in-navigation-pane/c3ff186f-8363-47e2-9f46-8f2cf83d78b4), I put a bunch of Heading 1 and Heading 2 headings inside my table. Now I'm having trouble jumping around inside my document.
The brute force approach that has occurred to me is to split the table after every heading, and take the heading out of the table.
Any other ideas?
MS Word 2010.
This is a known issue and Stefan Blom's answer still holds:
It is a known limitation in Word that headings inside table cells won't appear in the Navigation pane. For what it's worth, the same thing applies to the predecessor of the Navigation pane, the so-called Document Map, in older versions of Word.
As you have noticed, Word properly adds headings inside a table to the TOC, fortunately.
If you want the headings to appear in the navigation pane you have to place them outside of tables, i.e. your suggested approach is the way to go.
If you still want the heading to appear like it is part of the table you can simulate that by adding a paragraph border around your heading. (Note: This still does not work if it is in a table cell. You must be outside the table cell.)
I had the same problem and found useful this alternative:
Select desired text inside the table and insert Bookmarks from Insert > Bookmarks:
Type a Name and add the bookmark :
Use Bookmark Panel (CTRL+SHIFT+F5) or "Go To" command to navigate inside the document
In my case, headings weren't shown because I mixed heading and body text. Example(black text: heading):
OR operator Displays records if any condition is TRUE
So I solved it putting the body text below
OR operator
Displays records if any condition is TRUE
What I'm trying to do is create a bullet list in 'two columns'. So you have the bullet, a word, a tab and some aligned text like in the example below.
You have several alternatives:
Create a two-column table, with invisible lines. Fill the first column with your "bullet" word, and the second column with your "definition" (or whatever you are putting there.
Adjust the formatting for your special list item to include a tab where you want the text to appear and provide a "hanging indent" that lines up overflow text with that tab.
The second option is probably the best for you.
Is there a good way to make horizontal lines actually line up in Crystal Reports? I can select text and field objects, right-click, and do various sizing and alignments. But that's not an option with a line. I need header fields underlined (and for whatever reason, our standard says to NOT use underline), and I want them to line up across the report.
It's a pain, but I've found one way to do it.
Both field and line items have a right-click menu option called "Size and Position". It doesn't take just any value, especially with Snap to Grid turned on (and doesn't always take exactly what you choose with it not turned on), but you can carefully make sure each line has the same Y value (for horizonal lines). And, if you want them to align and be the same length as the field headers they are underlining, compare each header field X and Width values, and make each line also match that.
In design mode, you can add horizontal guide lines by clicking in the ruler (the vertical one) fields will get sticky to it.
You can also select several fields, right click "Align > Bottoms" and them move the fields to the guide lines.
You can also format a single field to "lock its position and size", then Align the others to it
Another way is to select all the lines you want to left align, move them to the far left with the left cursor key until they hit the left margin and keep pressing the left key until they all align themselves. Just a trick!
Put a bottom border on the header Text Object.
I have a detail band with text fields and a table. In the designer view I have fit all the band, but when I see the preview the lowest text field is higher than the first text field in the next band (i.e. I have empty space between band 1 and band 2).
The empty space is due by the table, in fact if I remove it I have no empty space. Below the designer view and preview.
The question is: how I can avoid the empty space between the bands? Thanks.
EDIT2: Now that the report is shown, it's clear. Make the table bigger in the report layout. Stretch it all the way to the bottom. When you don't, JR is careful to include as much space below it as you have left there.
EDIT: I think the key issue is that the band height should be "20" to match the height of the elements in it.
Old answer containing trivia that might or might not matter:
Some of your "text fields" are textFields. This is good. Some of your "text fields" are staticText. This is bad. Convert the static text to real text fields. You can right-click them and automatically transform them.
stretchType is bad. Turn that off. (Actually, it's good and useful... but it's not what you want.)
isStretchWithOverflow is good. Turn it on. Your text says that it's already on, but your code shows that it is not.
isPrintWhenDetailOverflows is bad. Turn it off. Your text makes no mention of it, but your code shows that it is on. (It's probably irrelevant... but you should turn it off to be clear that it's not what you think it is.)
