Thank you but that didn't work either! I have neither "allow spacing" nor
"automatically resize" checked (should I have at least one?) and I tried
"distribute columns evenly" but I can still see the uneven cell borders.

I did notice that when I click the side border of the cells to move it,
trying to align all the cell borders, it only moves in 'jumps' not smoothly.
Does that makes sense? Almost like it is set somewhere to 'align to the grid'
- although I don't know that that exists in Word.

This is big document (about 100 pages A4) and I really need it to look
'good' when it is done. Thank you for your help.

Under Table Properties, Options, ensure that both "Allow Spacing between
cells" and "Automatically resize to fit contents" are not checked.
Also have you tried the Distribute Columns Evenly button on the Tables
toolbar? This should help get the cell borders connected to each other
hopefully. You can do this in groups of two columns at a time if you don't
want the whole table distributed evenly.
Hope this helps

I have a table in Word 2000 (data copied from Excel, if that makes a
difference), all text, but I cannot get the text in each cell to align with
the cell above it. Subsequent cells are just (very) slightly 'off' so that
when I print without the table borders, the 'columns' appear jagged on the
LHS. I have cleared all tabs, checked for left-over spaces, checked for no
spacing before and after paragraphs, aligned them again and again, etc. but
cannot get the clean look I want. Any suggestions?
