hi all,

office 2003 sp2 and wxp pro sp2,

when i'm typing inside a cell witihin a table, sometimes when i hit
the
right margin of the particular column, the column would moves to the
right to
accomodate the text rather than the text itself warping around the
next line
below. other times it is just the reverse i.e. when i reach the the
column
grid on the right, automatically i am warped to the line below?

any explanations and work-around to enforce consistent behavior of
this
particular table's properties i.e. so that it either fixed the grid
so that
my text warp around to the next line or it keep pushing the grid
(assuming
english language usage where words are type left to right).

thanks for advice, help and explanation,
jes
