Can anyone suggest how to remove the excess amount of white space at the bottom of the column (see link to page).
In layout (Page) view the text in the column and the 2 tables end near the bottom of the page just above the back link and footer (the page looks good).
When previewing the page a substantial amount of white space is added to the text column.
Thanks for having a look at my document, Thomas. Your solution worked well for the column box of text, but NOT the vertical divider.
If the height setting of the vertical divider is changed in the inspector, it sets itself to zero (0px). That makes the divider completely disappear.
To have a flexible setting, I think that a box must have "in-flow content (text). If there is text, a box CAN then be set to flexible height; if there is nothing in the box, then I’m not able to set a flexible height.
Don’t know how to solve this problem, except by deleting the vertical divider.
Vertical dividers are much more easily created by setting a left or right border on an object that contains content.

Walt, never thought of that method. Sounds like a creative solution. Although in my case that would mean a very long vertical right-hand column with nothing much in it except at the top of the page.
Thanks, Thomas. Unfortunately, your advice is beyond my pay grade! Other than simple pasting of special HTML characters into a document, I’ve never changed code.
Guess we’ll have to leave it there for now. I do appreciate the replies.
Bob - I’m a little bit confused honestly, cause investigating your code showed me some “extended” settings an average mortal FW user is not used to such as placing items inflow (relative) or even remove IDs and applying classes instead.
Both settings are reachable by inspector btw. (padding in the first tab), border in the second.
