Try Table | Properties |Options (on the Table tab, beside Borders and
Shading) and uncheck Automatically Resize to fit contents. Hope this helps. -- Rae Drysdale "Becky" wrote: I have created a specific table layout that I wish to use but when I insert information the table will change the size of the cells .

How to keep Word table from altering format?
I had already set that option to not resize. I am getting frustrated because
the table will be exactly the way I want it and then just "move".

How to keep Word table from altering format?
I did try that also. It still just moves over suddenly.
I have 2 different spots in the table that go beyond the right border I have set for the table. When I try to delete these 2 cells (1 at a time) ,the cell deletes but then all of the sudden, the rest of the table shifts to the right and the entire table format is messed up. I can quickly save the table sometimes and it will retain the save but when you reopen the document, the same thing happens again. I am ready to print this table and can't get 2 of the middle pages to format even enough to just print 1 copy. THANKS for your help--the suggestions are great!

I can understand that the table would move if you delete cells. Rather than
delete the cells can you merge the cells, or just leave them and remove the border on the offending cells? -- Rae Drysdale "Becky" wrote: I did try that also. It still just moves over suddenly.
