Decrease space between two tables

[David31602268ox9z]

I am trying to decrease the space between two tables in a structured document. I have tried a few things, including setting the paragraph designer below paragraph setting to 0 pts. in the last cell of the first table, setting the above paragraph setting in the first cell of the second table to 0 pts, setting the top and bottom table margins to 0 pts in the table designer. None of these have worked.

I was able to get the space between my first table and the text before it to a reasonable size by setting the paragraph design for the previous text to Run-In Head, which pulled the anchor into the line with the text. Both tables are set to pgwide, so I don't know how I might be able to pull the anchor for the second table up further or otherwise shrink the distance between tables.

Try opening the Table Designer and set the 'Bottom' Table Margin for the 1st table to 0 and the 'Top' Table Margin for the 2nd table to 0.  UPDATE: This may only work for Unstructured....

I believe I have done so. Here is the table designer Basic section for the top table, the bottom table similarly has 0pt margins for top and bottom.

In Unstruc, for Table Margins and Paragraph Space Above/Below, the values can be set to negative numbers.

No idea how that will flow in Struc.
It's usually used to get second-column table top at actual column top.

I was able to solve this. With the structured document, I needed to make sure to apply the paragraph spacing rules on some container elements that the tables were within to fix the spacing.
