How do I unsplit a table without deleting a para mark?
When a table has misaligned column borders, I generally split the table,
align the column borders, then delete the paragraph mark between the split rows. This generally works. I have two recent cases where it does not: 1)A Word 2007 docx that I have saved as a Word 2003 doc and 2)An RTF document edited in Word 2003. In neither case can I delete the paragraph mark. It seems that the only way to reconstitute the table is to convert it to text and back again (UGH!). There has to be a better way? |

Is Track Changes turned on? If that is the case, you cannot delete the
paragraph mark that splits the tables. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Student" wrote: When a table has misaligned column borders, I generally split the table, align the column borders, then delete the paragraph mark between the split rows.

I faced the same situation. I turned on the paragraph indicator(pilcrow
sign) and then selected the paragraph mark and hit the delet key and Eureka. HTH Afd "Student" wrote in message ...

Even if it is much easier to see what you do when formatiing marks are
visible, the paragraph mark does not need to be visible in order to be selected and deleted. If you cannot delete it, track changes can be the reason. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "afdmello" wrote: I faced the same situation.
