Default Problem with Table Column Not Expanding

I ended up just drawing a new table, as a result the wrap is no longer
occurring. I will to the day I die, oppose the Ribbon on the grounds that
while it might generally be a good idea for the average user, it still
requires the user to bend to the thinking of the person(s) who decided which
'concepts' the individual commands should fall under. For example, to the
developers, 'Draw Table' and 'Eraser' are 'Design' actions with all of the
other table-related tasks under 'Layout'. To me, 'Draw Table', 'Eraser' and
the tasks under 'Layout' are all table-related tasks and should be grouped
together.

Furthermore, from an implementation standpoint, I would given the user the
choice of using either the Ribbon or the typical File Menu since from a
programming standpoing it doesn't matter the means by which the .exe to told
to execute the command, just what command TO execute.

Enough of my soapbox.

No. When you place the cursor into a table, the two Table context menus
(Table Tools - DESIGN and LAYOUT) appear, just above the ribbon.

Nothing changes in the Ribbon when I put the cursor physically in text in
the cell or in text outside of the cell.

Do you mean the menu that appears when I right click?

The Table Tools | Layout contextual tab, which is displayed only when
the insertion point is in a table.

Can you tell me which tab of that damn ribbon I find that under?

Open the Table Properties dialog using the dialog launcher in the Cell
Size
group of Table Tools | Layout or from the right-click context menu in
any
cell.

In Word 2007, I didn't see that option under that Table tab, just
'Automatically Resize...', under the Cell tab, I confirmed that both
the
'Wrap Text' and 'Fit Text' are unchecked. The text is still isn't
displayed.

On the Table tab of Table Properties, make sure text wrapping is set
to
None.

I've got text in a table column that extends beyond the visible
edge of
the column. It appears that Word 2007 is not actually extending the
table as it should but stops right at the page break.
