Question about tables.
I have a 2-column table into which I want to
paste text. If the first column of the table is too small for the total text, how can I make the excess flow into the second column of the table automatically? Please help, Frank |

Question about tables.
You can't. For this type of text flow you need newspaper-style columns.

Question about tables.
My text is in a text box, hence the need for
a table into which I can insert column-like text. Is a "newspaper column" the same thing as the Word2003 column button? Are there different types of columns? Also, I notice that when I insert too much text into the table in the text box the excess text is not accessible with the cursor so I have to CtrlA the area and reduce the text to 6 or 7 or so just to cut and paste the excess into the second column of the table.

Question about tables.
Instead of using a table in the text box, use two side-by-side linked text
boxes. -- Suzanne S.

Question about tables.
Thanks, this seems to be the solution. I can
even save the "overflow" textbox property to the saved template. Regards, Frank "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
