There are actually a couple of workarounds. One is to work in Print Preview
mode with the Magnifier turned off (the magnifier is the annoying mouse
pointer that makes you think you're limited to zooming the text in Print
Preview mode, when in fact you can edit freely in that mode). This lets you
work in WYSIWYG mode, and the selection and cursor location now display
correctly.
The other workaround--if you don't need to see the columns--is to switch to
Draft or Web Layout view... do what needs to be done to the table, and then
switch back to Print Layout view when you want to see what the document will
look like.

This is a known bug and has been reported. It happens when you have tables
in multiple columns and have heading rows repeated. It seems to affect
only the first page of the table. There is no workaround that allows you
to keep both the snaking columns and the repeated heading rows,
unfortunately, though eliminating either one will fix the problem.

I have this problem too, on at least 2 different computers. It's a file
that
was started in 2003, though I don't know if that matters. No solution yet
either, sorry!

I am using W2007 and cannot see the cursor in a table or selections when

make them inside the table. I do see changes I am making after the fact

it's hard to tell if I 'm in the right places.
I created this table on a landscape page. It has continuous section
breaks
before and after the table since I wanted the table's 4 columns of info
to
repeat and spread across the width of the page.
Has anyone else come across this and have a fix suggestion?
