Argh, I know what it is:
Table Table properties Cell Options... Fit text.
I came across FormatFitText some months ago.
Stefan Blom brought it up again just a couple of days back... and I had
nearly forgotten it again.
It seems to be buggy: I just tried to turn it off with a macro, and nothing
happened.
I added the "FormatFitText" command button to a toolbar, and clicked
"Remove" in the dialog, and nothing happened.
So maybe you'll have to change it back from the Table properties dialog...
No idea how it got turned on in the first place. I'm pretty sure there isn't
a default keyboard shortcut for that command.

Hi Klaus -
I looked in FormatFontCharacter spacing. It did say "expanded" in there.
I
changed it to normal and hit okay, but it would not change the two cells i
had selected. Then when i tried again, there's nothing in the "Spacing"
box.
I can arrow down to Normal, but it still doesn't change.
FormatParagraphAlignment is "centred", which is how i want it.
Seems like we're on the right track, though - thank you!

I have a table set up to mimic spine labels for library books. The

vertical rows, but that's neither here nor there. What happens every so
often
is that within one cell (for one label), the formatting changes to e x
p a
n
d e d text and has a blue underline. I can't for the life of me change
it
back to the way i want it.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
Have you looked at the applied style, and how that is defined?
Have you looked at "Format Font Character spacing tab"?
The spacing could also be "letter spacing" caused by Format Paragraph
Alignment = Distributed (Ctrl+Shift+J).
Then it should go away if you apply some other alignment (or change the
style correspondingly, if it's in the style definition).
Regards,
Klaus
