Default When I copy 3 rows in a table the rows get out of size

Aad Langelaan was telling us:
Aad Langelaan nous racontait que :

Was hoping this would be the solution, but sad enough, settings on
both machines
are exactly the same.
Checked at Word 2002 - 2003, Word 97 - 2000 and Custom.
I can tell you that it is the only machine with the problem, next to
me another
machine is working fine.
Only difference between the machines is that the "problem" machine is
a desktop
and the "right" machines are laptops.

That is a wrong guess, because I earlier wrote, it is happening at
one machine and not on another.
So it must be something like a setting.


As Suzanne suggested, check
Tools Options... "Edit" tab Cut and Paste Options
"Settings..." button
to make sure that the settings are the same on both machines.


Again, as Suzanne suggested, you seem to be pasting a nested table in the
problem case.
This usually occurs when you don't properly select the row to copy (I.e. the
end of row marker is not selected), or, sometimes, when the source document
is closed before the pasting is done.

If, as you sate, the two machines are identical (Same Windows and Word
version), the Paste settings are identical, the document is identical, then
all that remains is user manipulation that must differ in some way.

Make sure that the method used to select the row on the laptop generates the
exact same selection than the method used on the PC. Those laptop pointing
devices can be tricky.
Also, to make sure you see all that you are doing, display all non-printing
characters when comparing what is going on (Click on the Show All button on
the toolbar, the ¶ button).
