Problem with word tables and setting tabs and leaders
When I try to set tabs for a particular cell, and hit CTRL + Tab, I get very
strange results. Hitting those keys sometimes extends the cell to twice its' row size, or else the "arrow" tab marker moves to the tab I have set, but the insertion point moves further on in the cell. What am I doing wrong? Please help. |

Problem with word tables and setting tabs and leaders
With the insertion pointer in the cell on the tab, look at the Ruler and
check to see where the tab is set. From your description, it sounds like the tab is set outside the cell limits. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "sheana" wrote in message ...

Terry, I double-checked and the tab is within the limits of the cell. I
saved and then closed the document, and that seemed to fix the problem....can't explain how!?!
