Table formatting issues which disables the proper use of style separator

Dear Microsoft community,

 

I am trying to add a style separator in a table this works fine if I start a new document and a table but doesn’t work as expected when I am using the table in my current document. Now since this is a document I had been working on for days for my thesis I would like the style separator to work in my current document itself. Is there any way I could change my table formatting such that it accepts the style separator without giving errors. 

  • Rjaga760 Click inside the table and then from the table Layout tab, click on Convert to Text

     

    In the Convert Table dialog, select Paragraph Marks and then click on OK.

    Hover the mouse over the frame that is still present

     

    and then right click and left click on Format Frame

     

    Then in the Frame dialog, click no Remove Frame

     

    Select the image and text that was originally in the table and then via the Insert>Table dropdown, convert the text back to a Table.

    Rjaga760 I have added the images to the issue I’m facing below:

     

     

     As you can see I have the style separator in between those sentences but the spacing doesn’t disappear automatically where as it disappears when I start a new document and table there 

    • Rjaga760 Can you upload a copy of the document, or the part of it with which you have the problem, so that we can investigate the issue.  You may need to put the document in a zip archive as for some reason this forum does not allow the uploading of docx files.
