Select table column selects misaligned cells
Thanks to you MVPs for the loads of help you give day in and day out. I
have not posted in microsoft.public.* before, but I search here whenever I run into difficulty, and am seldom disappointed. This time, my searches have been fruitless, probably because any relevant keywords I can think of are not sufficiently unique. I'm sure someone must have answered this befo Sometimes when I select a range of cells in a table (either by clicking above a column or by dragging through the cells), the resulting selection is "misaligned". For example, a cell that appears to be perfectly in the range may not be selected, while a cell appearing outside the desired range is selected instead. When this symptom results from non-uniform cell widths in a column, it makes sense to me, but it sometimes occurs when the cells are perfectly equal. "Fixing" the problem sometimes requires deleting the rows that don't align (although, as I said, the cells may appear to align perfectly). I have Word 97 SR-2 running in XP. Your time is greatly appreciated. Robert |

Select table column selects misaligned cells
Sometimes this can happen, I suspect, when rows have been merged and then
resplit and Word loses the plot. -- Suzanne S.
