Problem with Table Column Not Expanding
I've got text in a table column that extends beyond the visible edge of the
column. It appears that Word 2007 is not actually extending the table as it should but stops right at the page break. |

Problem with Table Column Not Expanding
In Word 2007, I didn't see that option under that Table tab, just
'Automatically Resize...', under the Cell tab, I confirmed that both the 'Wrap Text' and 'Fit Text' are unchecked. The text is still isn't displayed. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

No. When you place the cursor into a table, the two Table context menus
(Table Tools - DESIGN and LAYOUT) appear, just above the ribbon. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "David C. Holley" David.C.Holley wrote in message ...

Problem with Table Column Not Expanding
As Terry says, when the insertion point is in a table, you should see two
new tabs above the ribbon: Table Tools | Design and Table Tools | Layout. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "David C.

Problem with Table Column Not Expanding
I ended up just drawing a new table, as a result the wrap is no longer
occurring. I will to the day I die, oppose the Ribbon on the grounds that while it might generally be a good idea for the average user, it still requires the user to bend to the thinking of the person(s) who decided which 'concepts' the individual commands should fall under. For example, to the developers, 'Draw Table' and 'Eraser' are 'Design' actions with all of the other table-related tasks under 'Layout'. To me, 'Draw Table', 'Eraser' and the tasks under 'Layout' are all table-related tasks and should be grouped together. Furthermore, from an implementation standpoint, I would given the user the choice of using either the Ribbon or the typical File Menu since from a programming standpoing it doesn't matter the means by which the .exe to told to execute the command, just what command TO execute. Enough of my soapbox. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

You'll get no argument against that from here! Unfortunately,
misinterpretation of user labs results have left us with this badly implemented replacement. It gets a little better in O2010. Terry Farrell "David C. Holley" David.C.Holley wrote in message ...

Problem with Table Column Not Expanding
I get the concept and don't neccessarily *disagree* with it, but it would be
much better if it *dynamically* altered itself based on the most commonly used function. I *do not* use styles so having the styles on the HOME tab does nothing except take up real estate. Same thing for the colors in Excel. Personally, I'd like a ToolTip function that allows you to 'save' the command. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... You'll get no argument against that from here!
