    Default Reclaiming Page Space...

    I have tried with this but I do need some pointers.

    Three objects on a page x,y,z - vertical alignment - I delete y - how do I reclaim the page space it was occupying ?

    My situation is more complex than that but a solution to that other than selecting z and moving it up would help.

    Many Thanks

    John

    John, you can only do this if z is Auto-fit to page and set to Bottom.
    You then reduce the page height.

    John - I am a visual person and I have absolutely NO idea what you are asking. Can you post a visual example of what you are asking about?

    Appreciate your time - as you may have guessed I have don't just have the 3 I have 20 + objects, items for sale, on the page -If I sell the middle one....

    I have just realised that as I list in chronological order I may need to enter one in the middle - what a muddle !

    I am converting an old site I did in Dreamweaver, years ago, that I listed products in a table - then it was easy to add and delete.

    Hi, sorry to confuse

    my site is http://www.gamesetal.net/gea/

    It's work in progress and links etc don't all work - but if you scroll down you will see a 'gap' it's that which I am trying to erase...

    Much appreciate your time in seeking to assist me.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong in "selecting z and moving it up".

    What will help you is to soft-group each entry from the divider to the bottom of the entry.
    That way moving and re-arranging is far easier to control.

    Delete the one divider graphic. Marque select the text and objects below and press the Shift + up arrow key to move all the text and objects up.

    From a design point of view, I think your background is too busy and detracts from what you are trying to present. I would use a solid color background. And I don't think you need the grid. Make it simple. And the bright green in the banner does not relate to anything else on the page. I would suggest a darker red, brown or gold from your playing cards.
