Try the following: With the cursor in the problem cell, click Table
Properties on the Table menu. Click the Cell tab. Click Options. Is
the "Fit text" option selected? If so, clear it, and click OK twice.

Inside one of the cells of a table on a word document the character
spacing
jumps to 26.1 pts. It happens only in this one cell, when I try to
revert to
normal spacing it will not change. Everywhere on the document the
formatting
is fine, just this one cell. Any tips on changing the formatting.
