To avoid that space occurring from going from Table 3 to Table 4; you could right-click on the space between Table 3 and Table 4, select "paragraph". Under the "Spacing section" input value 0.06 in "At" box and click OK.

This is the reason I love internet. People here just help each other without expecting anything. Thank you kind Sir. You solved a very big problem.

[@nigeloono4560]

thank you sooo much

[@sitisyuhadabintiabuhanifah8051]

Thank you so much for the tips!

[@ainocj173]

Or another way is to put the cursor right at the beginning of Table 4, insert Table 3, and when a prompt came up "Do you want to replace the selected table of figures?" click "No". Table 3 will show up right above Table 4 with no space. But this way you need add in reverse from the bottom (add Table 4 first -> Table3 -> Table2 etc,.)

Everyone trying this method, please note that labels you create in one computer won't be available if you use open word in another computer. I tried one in a mac with Word 2016 and another one a windows machine with Word 2016. I spent almost 3 hours labeling figures and tables on mac and when I returned home and checked on my windows machine, it was absent. Anyone trying this try your best to work on tables and figures from preferably one computer so that you won't loose whatever you made. Thanks for the informative video.

[@arunkumars4396]

Thank you very much, I have spent almost 1-hour making List of a table, after this video just 10 mins for 25 plus tables.

Thanks, I've been trying to do this for close to a week and couldn't figure it out. Awesome video

[@darkbuster1]

I also found a little trick. If you press the paragraph marks (symbol: ¶) you will see them all over the page where your tables are. Now, if you set your mouse marker AFTER the side number at where you don't want the space between the table to be (for example: Table 1.1................3¶), and delete this sign there wont be any space between them.
Sorry if I explained it bad, english is not my native language. Just ask me and I'll try to explain better.
