[David C. Holley]

I've got text in a table column that extends beyond the visible edge of the
column. It appears that Word 2007 is not actually extending the table as it
should but stops right at the page break.

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

On the Table tab of Table properties, make sure text wrapping is set to
None.

In Word 2007, I didn't see that option under that Table tab, just
'Automatically Resize...', under the Cell tab, I confirmed that both the
'Wrap Text' and 'Fit Text' are unchecked. The text is still isn't displayed.

Open the Table Properties dialog using the dialog launcher in the Cell Size
group of Table Tools | Layout or from the right-click context menu in any
cell.

Nothing changes in the Ribbon when I put the cursor physically in text in
the cell or in text outside of the cell.

Do you mean the menu that appears when I right click?

No. When you place the cursor into a table, the two Table context menus
(Table Tools - DESIGN and LAYOUT) appear, just above the ribbon.

As Terry says, when the insertion point is in a table, you should see two
new tabs above the ribbon: Table Tools | Design and Table Tools | Layout.

[David C. Holley]

I ended up just drawing a new table, as a result the wrap is no longer
occurring. I will to the day I die, oppose the Ribbon on the grounds that
while it might generally be a good idea for the average user, it still
requires the user to bend to the thinking of the person(s) who decided which
'concepts' the individual commands should fall under. For example, to the
developers, 'Draw Table' and 'Eraser' are 'Design' actions with all of the
other table-related tasks under 'Layout'. To me, 'Draw Table', 'Eraser' and
the tasks under 'Layout' are all table-related tasks and should be grouped
together.

Furthermore, from an implementation standpoint, I would given the user the
choice of using either the Ribbon or the typical File Menu since from a
programming standpoing it doesn't matter the means by which the .exe to told
to execute the command, just what command TO execute.

Enough of my soapbox.

You'll get no argument against that from here! Unfortunately,
misinterpretation of user labs results have left us with this badly
implemented replacement. It gets a little better in O2010.

I get the concept and don't neccessarily *disagree* with it, but it would be
much better if it *dynamically* altered itself based on the most commonly
used function. I *do not* use styles so having the styles on the HOME tab
does nothing except take up real estate. Same thing for the colors in Excel.

Personally, I'd like a ToolTip function that allows you to 'save' the
command.
