Cell Selection in Word 2003 Tables
What do I change or reset to be able to see the arrow to select a cell in a
table?When I try to select a cell in a table in Word, I do not get the arrow for the cell. I get a vertical bar with bars to the right that change as I move around in the cell (formatting display I guess). I can select entire rows and/or columns. |

Cell Selection in Word 2003 Tables
Hi ?B?SmVycnkgSA==?=,
What do I change or reset to be able to see the arrow to select a cell in a table?When I try to select a cell in a table in Word, I do not get the arrow for the cell. I get a vertical bar with bars to the right that change as I move around in the cell (formatting display I guess). I can select entire rows and/or columns. I'm guessing you've formatted the table to position freely on the page and you have Word 2002, possibly with no Service packs installed? Upgrade your installation or make sure the table is positioned with NO text wrapping (Table/Table properties).

Cell Selection in Word 2003 Tables
That wasn't the answer, but it was a clue. When I open a Word document and
create a table, things work fine. The table in question was copied from an original source and pasted into a new document and apparently it brought its formatting with it. When I did a special paste of text only, things worked. Since I am using Word 2003 and XP SP2, I think the formatting I inherited was the problem. I can't seem to "turn it off," but that is okay for what I need now. I know I don't have a systemic problem. Thanks for the prompt reply.
