I will have to see if the view is flipping. I will post if I find a
workaround.
Thanks,
Cathy

The only possibility that occurs to me is that the text is already rotated
and adjusting the cell borders somehow flips you from Normal to Print Layout
view (rotated text is not displayed rotated in Normal view). Beyond that,
I'm as bewildered as you are.

Vertical as in, the letters are rotated 90 degrees and the text is
readable
bottom-to-top.
Thanks again.

bottom-to-top? Or vertical as in, broken into a lot of short lines?

The column has enough room for the text that is already typed into the
column
to stay horizontal but when I click on the gridline to make the column
just a
bit smaller the text direction becomes vertical instead of horizontal
even
though there is plenty of room for the text to stay horizontal.
Hope this clarifies it for you. Thanks, Cathy

"The text goes vertical"? What does that mean?

In Word 2003 I am having trouble when I try to make a column
shorter
the
text
goes vertical even though there is plenty of room in the cell for
the
text.
I have never had that happen in previous versions. Any help will
be
appreciated.
