If what Doug suggested doesn't work you could try converting the table to
text and then convert it back to a table.

I have come across this before at least twice and I have come to the
conclusion that if your table columns are taken or were originally
formatted
in a variety of Word versions or with Windows ME then they are
incompatible.
You either accept them as being a little bit crooked or redo the whole
table.
Unfortunately cutting and pasting does not work, you have to retype
everything. ME has been the biggest culprit in my experience.

Good Luck

I have a large table (multipage) with 6 columns. I created it by joining

other (same column) tables. When I added some header bits from somewhere
else, my coulumn widths started changing - seemingly with minds of their
own
[sigh, what's new?] - so that there's, say, 3 pages of this and that
width
columns, then two pages of other widths. I keep trying highlighting the
vertical lines and dragging, and sometimes this works, but sometimes
_other_
columns also change width. This is almost impossible to explain; I hope
someone out there has had a similar experience so they'll know what I'm
on
about...!

Thanks
