Formating tables in frames
I am having a strange problem with tables in a frame with word 2002/3
Once the table has been insterted in a frame when I try to format with styles the first cells in the first column the whole line jumps out of the frame. The second column reacts normally to the formatting Is there a way for me to fomat this cell? Am I doing something wrong. I need to put the table in a frame I have to do some forms and I need to put 2 or more tables side by side. |

Formating tables in frames
My guess is that you have inadvertenly modified the "problem style" to
include frame formatting; that is why the text jumps out of the frame/table when you apply the style. Look in the Modify Style dialog box for the style in question. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Flavio" wrote in message ...

You might have better luck by putting each tables within a separate cell of a
larger, unbordered table.

Formating tables in frames
Thank you for you advice Pam
But I need to put separate tables side by side. I have many forms to create and I want to create a master document with different libray like parts so that the team I am working with can cut and paste standard blocks into differnt forms.

You could produce side-by-side tables by creating a two-cell, one-row table
and placing a (sub)table in each cell. Sorry, the earlier message was garbled. There are other methods, but I think the tables within a table might be the most stable.

Another possibility would be to drag one of the tables (using the mouse) to
position it in the desired location. Recent versions of Word support wrapping text around tables. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:9be3dff01ed2d@uwe...

I finally remembered Word's term for this: nested tables.
