    Hi together,

    If I understand abhijeett right:

    Three different text frames with three tables positioned on top of a graphic frame?

    Then abhijeett already had the solution.

    Unfortunately only sort of.

    ( One cannot trust the helpx pages these days… )

    The helpx page is not showing the optional controls of the Align Panel abhijeett is needing.

    Align and distribute objects in InDesign

    First make the options visible:

    But before doing the vertical alignment with the Align Panel:

    1. Select all three text frames

    2. and fit frames to contents.

    Then distribute vertically.

    Select the text frames:

    Fit frame to contents:

    Distribute vertically:

    Regards,
    Uwe

    Are all the tables in one text frame?
    If yes and there are only the tables in the frame you could use InDesign's Text Frame Options dialog to solve this problem:

    Before:

    After:

    ( From my German InDesign )

    Text Frame Options dialog

    Vertical Justification > Justification [Justify]

    as I said above

    if the tables are in separated frames, select them all and  use "align and distribute" option (with "use spacing" or without)

    you don't need a script.

    There are various ways to do this depend on how did you placed the tables in your page

    if the tables are in separated frames  you could use "align and distribute" option

    if the tables flow with the text you could use space before/after option
