Table
I received a .doc file to imbed into a master doc. The table inserts
just fine and it seem to be a simple(4X2) table with each slot containing a business card. I can not tell what each slot contains but would guess it's a .jpg/bmp. I can click on table entry and it will allow me to massage it with format picture and why I think it's probably jpg although I don't think what is in the slot makes a difference. I would like to remove an entry and replace it. The problem - it deletes quite nicely but then I can do nothing with the empty slot. If I click on it behaves like it is protected. Any idea what I need to do to get addressibility to the entry so I can try inserting something different in the slot? I'm running Office 2000 on XP if it makes a difference -Doug Freese |

Table
Hi Doug:
Well, I can confidently state that this "cannot happen" :-) In other words, if you can delete from a table, you can insert into it. So what I suspect has happened is that either the Table or the Pictures are in a different "layer" of the document. I suspect that the "table" is a drawing in the header or footer of the document, and that the pictures are "floating" in the graphics layer. Try ViewHeaders and Footers. What changes? Chances are you can now access the table but not the pictures... If I were you, I would make a new table in a new document and copy the pictures into it. That way YOU know what you're dealing with. Oh, and if you really are dealing with a "Master Document", as opposed to an ordinary Word document into which you are adding pieces, get rid of it (Look up Master Document in the Word help for more information). As soon as you start taking on complex formatting in a Master Document, the considerations and limitations take on the size of War and Peace...
