Unable to select cells
Hello experts.
I've been working a large table (a form, actually), with multiple rows and different sized cells. I can no longer select a cell (with the little black arrow). I have to go into the menu (TableSelectCell). I can select columns and rows, but not individual cells. Also, my create table button disappeared. When I added it back on the toolbar, I get a dialog box instead of a grid to create a table. Thank you so much for your help. -- MB |

TableInsertGeneral is the command you want for the "grid to create a table."
As for the first, do you have nested tables, merged cells? Is the table wrapped? What view are you in? -- Suzanne S.

Thank you, Suzanne, for the quick reply.
I do not have nested tables, but I do have merged cells. However, even the single cells cannot be selected. I'm don't understand the "TableInsertGeneral" command. Were you referring to adding a button? Thanks, again. -- MB "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: TableInsertGeneral is the command you want for the "grid to create a table."

Customize. -- Suzanne S.
