Default Hide/Disable the Table Move Handle

Double clicking on the handle used to bring up the Table Properties Dialog,
a facility that has been lost in 2007.

Selecting the Table by single clicking on the handle remains.

Enjoy,

I'm very ambivalent about the table handle. It's all too easy to nudge it
accidentally, and the slightest nudge will make a table wrapped. I tend to
work in Normal view, which avoids the problem, but then I can't
double-click on the table handle to select the table, and that *is* a
convenience (a convenience I understand has been lost in Word 2007
sigh).

Amazing what can be achieved once you UNDERSTAND the logic and
workings behind the feature !

Works like magic now .. many thanks Beth/MS .. brought my faith back
in Word :-)


You're welcome. I'm glad to hear you have it sorted out. Isn't always
easy once you have the solution? ;-)
