I'm running Word 2003 in Windows XP Professional (5.1). I have
created a 150-page document with a 90-page table.
In one column of the table, I needed to add a hanging indent to about
1/4 of the cells. I didn't bother to create a new named style for the
hanging indent; I just set an indent on one cell and then used
Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V to copy the formatting to subsequent
cells.
Now, whenever I paste the formatting to a new cell, I get a message
that says "Word is repaginating . . ." and I need to wait a few
seconds until the repagination is complete. Anybody out there know
if there's a way to avoid this repagination?
Thanks,
Fred
