table column size changes when copying and pasting
When I copy columns from one table to add to another table, the column width
reverts to the size of the last column in the new table. I have tried the Microsoft suggested solution of copying the end of row marks to keep the formatting but it doesn't work. I am using Word 2000 on a PC. Can anyone help please? I have about a hundred tables that I have created in a document in portrait and now want to add two new columns of different widths in landscape as a check list. |

table column size changes when copying and pasting
Hi,
I'm not sure I understand your question. But are you aware of the command "Table Properties" on the Table menu. It will allow you to set specific widths for both columns and rows. My suggestion would be to just let Word go ahead and adjust the column widths. When you are finished cutting and pasting, use the Table Properties command to adjust your columns widths as needed. Work with contiguous columns, too, to prevent you having to repeat the same task.

That's what I had to do in the end Rich. But I had around 100 tables in a
document that needed to be changed, so it was tedious work. Regards Jenni "Rich" wrote: Hi, I'm not sure I understand your question.
