Changing column width in the Word table
One of my co-workers using the same template for creating documents in Word
2003 as other my co-workers, has recently faced the problem with manually changing column width in a Word table. When attempting to drag the column border nothing happens at all. Since the problem can only be reproduced on that co-worker's PC, I assume that some Word setting might be turned on or off that prevents manual column resizing. Does anyone know what this might be and how to solve this? |

Hi ?B?c3Zlcmtsb3Y=?=,
One of my co-workers using the same template for creating documents in Word 2003 as other my co-workers, has recently faced the problem with manually changing column width in a Word table. When attempting to drag the column border nothing happens at all. Since the problem can only be reproduced on that co-worker's PC, I assume that some Word setting might be turned on or off that prevents manual column resizing. Does anyone know what this might be and how to solve this? Will the columns change if one adjusts the width using the dialog box from the Table menu? (If you don't know how to find this, tell us which version of Word is being used.) If that's the case, then I'd suspect a problem with either the graphics card or the mouse driver.

This may also be a result of "Snap to grid." Display the Drawing toolbar,
choose Draw | Grid, and make sure that option is not checked. Or you can override the grid by pressing Alt while dragging. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you all for your replies. Unfortunately I cannot tell you what had
happened. On the next day the problem evaporated without leaving a chance to figure out what was the reason for its occurence. I believe that some settings might have been changed by my co-worker. Anyway, thank you all!
