Row and Column Indicators
WordPerfect has "Row and Column Indicators" that you can turn on that
simulates a spreadsheet look so that you can easily read the cell coordinates. Does Word have anything similar? In a long table it is hard to know what cells are which. Brenda |

Row and Column Indicators
Despite frequent requests, Word does not have these and probably never will
(we're told the problem is the complexity of nested tables, merged and split cells, etc.).

Suzanne:
I wrote to a magazine "Wordtips" back in '03 and did receive a macro to get cell reference for word 2000 - there is the following disclaimer but I dont understand if I can pass it on or not.

Almost certainly the macro published in WordTips is derived from the one
offered by MS and linked from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...eIncorrect.htm. I've about given up submitting information to WordTips because I resent having my free contributions covered by someone else's copyright. -- Suzanne S.
