Word 2002 table list problem
Still having problems with my document made up of 3 column tables. Column 1
and column 3 are supposed to be centered while column 2 is supposed to be left aligned. Every time I make a change, close the document, or open the document the data in the cells of the tables goes nuts. I get fonts in different sizes, shapes and colours. I get bolding throughout sections. I get centering when I want left aligning. IT IS A MESS and everytime I take the time to fix it up (another near impossible chore as it will not recognize style changes (flicking on then off) and will not recognize NO to automatic updates or simply changes the cell I am working in and silently makes a mess somewhere else in the document before and/or after the area I am in. What can I do? Why is this happening? Is there any easy way to check coding etc. to see what the problem is??? Having to manually go through each page of a document every time you change or enter something is crazy. |

Word 2002 table list problem
Have you already checked to make sure that pretty much everything on the
AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options is disabled, but especially "Define styles based on your formatting," and that none of your styles is set to update automatically? -- Suzanne S.

Word 2002 table list problem
I thought I had but possibly I am not getting all of them. If I were to do
an Edit | Select All and then did the Auto change that it might capture all, or do I have to go through the document and select each table and non table entry?
