: How to get consistent vertical spacing between elements in InDesign? In InDesign, how can I have the same vertical spacing between certain elements throughout the document? I have several pages

Start by making sure all your headers are similarly formatted. Select the textbox containing the headers or alternatively the lowermost text box if the headers are in several boxes. When it is selected it has the bounding box with a control handle in the lower center. (The one you would use to adjust the height of the box from the bottom side of the box.) Double-click this handle and the box will automatically resize to it's minimum height from the bottom upwards while still displaying the text inside.
Now, create or move your tables so that the top of the tables snap directly to the bottom of the header boxes.
Select your table box and in the Control panel, go to the 'Y' field. Click it so that the cursor is behind the current value without selecting or deleting it and type in your desired space. F.ex. '+50'. Hit enter. The table will move down 50 of the current units you're using in InDesign.


You can also use minus(-) multiply(*) and divide(/) in the properties boxes in the control panel. hope this helps.
