disappearing cursor when I 'tab' over
my document has over 50 cells in a table. I mostly have no problem using the
TAB or the up/down/left/right keys to move from cell to cell to type something in. the cursor point shows up in MOST of them, but in a couple it is invisible (the letters show up fine when I type) . I have spent the day searching the google posts & other sites to find a solution, but nothing solves 'my' problem. are there any suggestions? it is not random, just in specific cells, the curser does show up with the arrow keys, but not when I TAB over to them. it is livable, but I'd like to know what is wrong. |

One thing that could result in the cursor disappearing is _negative_ left
and/or right indentation in a table cell (will cause the text area to exceed the cell borders - the cursor will be hidden if placed in the invisible area). You could check the left and right indentation below €śIndentation€ť in Format Paragraph Indents and Spacing tab. Note that I included almost the same explanation in a post I recently added to your previous thread (you may not have seen it yet - it also contains answers to your other questions).

disappearing cursor when I 'tab' over
I find that the cursor tends to disappear in any cell with right alignment,
even if there is normal cell padding and no negative indent. -- Suzanne S.

I went back & found the post you were talking about, I'll study that.
I did check out what you said about the indentations in that particular cell. it does not have any negatives & is set for center alignment. the curser still disappears when I TAB to it . hmmmmmm "Lene Fredborg" wrote in message ...
