Default Double clicking table marker selects previous paragraph

I used to be able to double click the little crossbox at the top left of a
table (sorry, not sure what it's called - perhaps the table selector?) and it
would automatically open the properties dialog for that table. However, now
when I double click, it selects the paragraph of text directly previous to
the table. I'm not sure how I managed to change this...anyone know why this
is or how I can fix it?

It's called the Table Handle. I confess I hadn't realized (or had forgotten)
that it opened the Table Properties dialog. FWIW, you can usually
right-click anywhere in a table and find Table Properties on the shortcut
menu.

Thanks Suzanne. Yes, I know I can right click and open the properties box,
but I've been double-clicking for so long that it's second nature, so I'm
constantly having to remind myself. Not a critical thing, but one of those
irritating issues...and frustrating, since I don't know why I lost this
capability in the first place!

Would it make a difference whether the table was wrapped or not? I can
imagine that if the table were wrapped, then it might be anchored to the
previous paragraph. This is just pure guesswork, though. I operate mostly in
Normal view, so I never see the table handle.
