I recently upgraded to a Vista and Word 2007, and opened a table file
created with WIndows XP and Word 2003. When I click in a cell, my cursor
fails to open that cell or allow me to type or change the data. What's going
on? Why the added complexity? How do I change the data in that cell?

Are you seeing that anomaly in just that file or does it happen with new
documents as well?

I haven't yet created a new table--only opened tables created with previous
versions of Word. I never had this problem when upgrading to previous
versions of Word from Windows 95 to XP. How can I get the cursor to appear
in a cell that I click in?

I've opened a number of prior version Word docs containing tables & have not
come across this at all. Are you certain the doc in question isn't Protected
in some way? Are you able to edit areas *outside* the table?
