Word Table: When I select a Column, some rows have 2 cells selecte
I have a couple rows in my table that seem to be totally normal until I
select a table column. Then I get 2 side-by-side cells selected with the otherwise single table column. Are these 2 cells linked? I don't know why it's doing this. I can no longer copy and paste a column. I tried cutting and pasteing the row into a new row, but it still does it. It there anyway to fix this? |

The two cells have been merged (Table | Merge Cells). Place the cursor
inside them and try the Split Cell command on the Table menu. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DonD" wrote in message ...

Yes, I can split the merged cell but the row will have too many columns and
once again requires a rewrite or major cell resizing. The most bazaar thing is the cell had 3 lines of text, with a return after the first 2 lines of text. Somehow these returns changed the single cell into a 3 row merged cell. The other bazaar thing is the fact you cant identify which cell is merged in word. I ended up copying and pasting a row from the word table into excel to see what cell was merged. The only real problem I can see is a merged cell is not. If it was merged like €śWord Perfect€ť it would be truly one cell. The €śWord Perfect€ť table capabilities in the mid 90 was way ahead of Word 2003. 10 years behind. Pretty sad.

I have never seen the behavior you're describing. Does this happen
with a particular document or with a set of documents created from the same template? I suppose it could be a corrupt document or template. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/CorruptDoc.htm. See also the replies posted to your other (similar) question in microsoft.public.word.tables. Please avoid multi-posting (or at least indicate that you've asked the same question in another newsgroup, too). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DonD" wrote in message ...
