My Tables are not ending at the right margin
Tables can, and will. When this happens to me, I click inside the table, hit
Table--Properties, and set the Table width to 100%, which should set the margins better. If that doesn't work, set it to the width of your paper less the margin in inches or cm or whatever you're using. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "HT" wrote in message ...

A different way to adjust table width to the margins of the page:
1. Place the cursor inside the table. 2. On the Table menu, click AutoFit, and then click AutoFit to Window. 3. (Optional On the Table menu, click AutoFit, and then click Fixed Column Width. This sets fixed column widths, and turns off the terrible "Automatically resize to fit contents" option in the Table Options dialog box (available via TableTable Properties, Table tab, Options button). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

There is also (at least in Word 2003) a Compatibility Option to "Allow
tables to extend into margins." If this option is not enabled, presumably tables will be constrained to the margins. -- Suzanne S.
