Protect a table layout
Hi,
I'm trying to protect a table layout which has been created in word, but want to be able to edit the text within the tables colums and rows I've tried to fix the column width, but that doesnt work, any ideas? |

Protect a table layout
To prevent the table from resizing, if that's what you are trying to do,
also specify a fixed height for each row (Row tab of the Table Properties dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "emerald" wrote in message ...

Which options did you select? Note that when you choose "Specify height" in
the Table Properties dialog box, you must also choose "Exactly" for "Row height is." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "emerald" wrote in message ...

Protect a table layout
Since it is the column width you seem to be attempting to control, did you
disable auto resizing? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "emerald" wrote in message ...

You disabled auto resizing and set a preferred width for each column?
