Edit Table data
Previously posted in the wrong Microsoft newsgroup--and no helpful reply.
I recently upgraded to a Vista and Word 2007, and opened a table file created with WIndows XP and Word 2003. I haven't yet created a new table--only opened tables created with previous versions of Word. When I click in a cell, my cursor fails to open that cell or to allow me to type or change the data in a cell. How do I get the cursor to appear in a cell that I click in? How do I change the data in that cell? I never had this problem when upgrading to previous versions of Word from Windows 95 to XP. I would appreciate help from somebody with expertise in the new Word tables. |

Hi Don,
That isn't Word 2007's normal behaviour. Are you sure the table isn't in a section of the document protected for forms?

It is weird, so I returned to my document and discovered that it is only on
the first page of the document with 2 collumns of tables that the cursor will not appear in a cell that is clicked, and where I cannot edit the cell contents. The table operates normally on the subseuent pages (2-5). What could be affectig page 1? How do i correct this? Don "macropod" wrote in message ... Hi Don, That isn't Word 2007's normal behaviour.

Hi Don,
Is there a section break between the two pages? If so, it is possible that the first section is protected for forms - check under Tools|Options|Protection. Alternatively, could it be that the table on the 1st page is in the document header or footer? To test this, double click on the page header area and see if the table becomes accessible.

There is no Tools/Options/Protection in Word 2007 (ribbons instead).
Anclicking on the Word icon and the Options feature doesn't provide the Protection feature. As far as I can tell there isno unusual ptotection, no continuour or other section (no sections) breaks, no Header or Footer.. I can't find a reason why only page 1 is inaccessible. The table contains a list of many items I have been collecting for several years, so I am reluctant to creat another table and re-insert all the data. I appreciate your trying to help.

There's no Tools | Options | Protection in previous versions, either; it's
Tools | Protect Document. In Word 2007, you would look for Developer | Protect | Protect Document or Review | Protect | Protect Document, depending on the type of protection. For the former, you would have to have gone to Word Options to display the Developer tab. -- Suzanne S.

Sigh, that's what happens when you upgrade and try to remember the menu path to something that's not in the latest version. The
shortcut keys are still the same though (Alt-T, P). Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] ------------------------- "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Hello - was this issue ever resolved? A secretary at our company is dealing
with an issue very similar. When she removed a section break she could edit the cells on the first page of the table. With thr section break after the table she cannot edit cells on the first page (only). The issue began when she added a header to the document. Incidently, this document began as an Office 2003 Word document now being used in Word 2007. Saving it as a Word 2007 didn't correct the problem. Thank you. -- KSaleeba "Don Bouchard" wrote: Previously posted in the wrong Microsoft newsgroup--and no helpful reply.
