Column widths in Word 2003
I'm having trouble controlling widths of table columns. When I paste rows
from one table into another, where the column widths don't match, I don't seem to be able to drag to adjust the column widths like I used to in the old version. The table automatically resizes itself. I've tried turning off the Automatic Resize to Contents option, and have tried setting the width of the table but nothing seems to work. -- Thanks JR |

Another possibility, if a bit clumsy:
Insert an empty row where you want to paste, select that, and "Paste Special" as unformatted text. If you don't mind loosing the formatting, that is...
