Strange Behavior with Tables in Word 2003
My boss uses tables in Word and is having strange problems.
She creates a table (4 columns and 18 rows, for example). She fills in the table and everything looks OK. When she prints (or print preview), Word is printing Column 1 in the proper position until it reaches the bottom of Page 1; then it continues with the second page in the next column (but it is still Column 1). In other words, Word is placing the entire table on one page so that it prints something like the following: C1, R1 C1, R6 C1, R11 C1, R16 C1, R2 C1, R7 C1, R12 C1, R17 C1, R3 C1, R8 C1, R13 C1, R18 C1, R4 C1, R9 C1, R14 C2, R1 C1, R5 C1, R10 C1, R15 C2, R2 Switch back to Normal View and everything looks OK again. Any part of the table that won't fit on one page is ignored. Everything isn't EXACTLY as shown above. For example, C1, R1 may also include a character or two of C2, R1 before C1, R6 and so on across the page. I can't see anything in the formatting that should be causing a problem, but this is happening often. Often, she is working on documents she received via e-mail and is opening them directly from within Outlook. I have told her not to do this, but ... Could this be causing a problem with her documents? Has anyone seen this before? It's driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. James |
