Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn off the table move handle in
Word 2003?

I have recently installed a program that changed a few things in Word. I
have corrected all but this.

Thanks for any and all help!

What do you mean by "turn off"? The handle is not available in Normal view.

I do not normally work in Normal View, as I use alot of graphics and such
that need to be moved around. I have always been used to moving a table by
hitting enter. I understand that for some the move handle may be easier, but
to me it is cumbersome-especially when you go back and add text or a graphic
before it. That seems to throw everything out of alignment and sometimes text
gets hidden behind it.

Can I change Print view so that I don't have to use the handle?

I don't understand what you mean by using Enter. You can press Enter at the
end of a paragraph before the table and the table will be moved down. Once
you have moved the table with the table handle, however, the wrapping is
changed from None to Around; if you change it back (Table tab of Table
Properties), you should be in business. When you want to move a table some
distance, instead of dragging it, use Cut and Paste.

Thanks, I did try this and it worked. I have used Microsoft products for 15
years and Word 2003 for 2 years now and have always worked with tables in
documents, yet I have never seen (or maybe I just didn't pay attention to)
the move handle. Like I said in my earlier post, until I installed this other
program that uses Word as an editor, I had never seen this. I am assuming
then, that there isn't a way to not use the handle when in Print View.
Thanks for all your help!
