Hi LurfysMa,

I often need to rearrange the columns in a table. If I select a column
and drag it to another place, it assumed the width of one of the
adjacant columns.

Is there a way to move it without the width changing?

I have tried Shift-drag, Alt-drag, Ctrl-drag, etc...

Don't I wish sigh I haven't been able to find a way to force this,
either. Although if it's a "simple" table, I might take it into Excel to
make the changes, then move it back into Word.

Beyond that, I can imagine a macro solution could be useful (although
I've never been annoyed enough by the problem to sit down and create
one).
