    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.

Dear Sir,

 

I appreciate your response. However, the issue is still not resolved even when I use "In Line with Text" for the image and add the style separator the results are shown below:

 

However, when I add a new table and copy and paste the data into that table this problem disappears as seen below:

Any tips you may have is greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, due to a time crunch, I have started updating the document with this process. Please let me know if there is any other thing I could do fix this problem ingeniously.

 

Thank you for your guidance with this matter.

 

Best regards, 

 

Ritesh

    Dear Sir,

     

    Thank you for your response, I am hoping this will definitely solve the problem. But in my version of MS word, I don't see any option called format frame. I only get the following options:

     

    So, I don't really know how can I solve this issue. I tried googling how to do this as well but there seems to be no clear response available for the steps I need to follow to format the frame. It is advised to use border and shading in the display section but I'm guessing that's not it?

     

    Sorry for so many questions but I am grateful for your help with this matter. You are the best!!

     

    Thank you so much

     

    Best Regards
