Trying to allign three tables
I think you're right about the corruption. Sometimes you just have to throw
in the towel, give up trying to understand what is wrong, and do whatever works. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Tomster" wrote in message ... Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, Margins for tables are all the same, as well as the indent settings (zero). Wrap was off for all tables. Alt was helpful for avoiding the snap to grid issue. Thank you. However, I could only move the left side of the problem table to the right. Moving it to the left with the Alt key being held down produced the same bounce back to the undesired offset position. I ended up copying some of the "correct" rows from the two "good" tables, and pasting them into the offending table (these new rows held their left and right margin settings)... I then deleted the bad rows and used merge and insert commands to get the right number of columns. Wish I had done that sooner. From what you are saying, I should be able to pick left align, wrap off, and set the width of the table... and this should align a table to the left margin. That is the part that was just not happening... so I suspect that there was some corruption in the specific table that was giving unpredictable results. If you have any other ideas as to what may have caused this, or settings I may be missing, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thank you very much. -- Tomster "PamC via OfficeKB.com" wrote: In addition to what Suzanne suggests, check to see whether the table/cell margins are the same for all the tables. Suzanne S.

You can override the grid by pressing Alt while dragging, but don't drag the table, just one of the column boundaries. Working with Word 2003. I have a page that has three tables on it. [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] this for publication. I must be missing something. Suggestions most welcome. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ables/200901/1 |
