column's grid behavior
hi all,
office 2003 sp2 and wxp pro sp2, when i'm typing inside a cell witihin a table, sometimes when i hit the right margin of the particular column, the column would moves to the right to accomodate the text rather than the text itself warping around the next line below. other times it is just the reverse i.e. when i reach the the column grid on the right, automatically i am warped to the line below? any explanations and work-around to enforce consistent behavior of this particular table's properties i.e. so that it either fixed the grid so that my text warp around to the next line or it keep pushing the grid (assuming english language usage where words are type left to right). thanks for advice, help and explanation, jes |

On the Table menu, click Table Properties. Click the Table tab. Click
Options, clear the "Automatically resize to fit contents" option and click OK twice. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "xppuser" wrote in message ... hi all, office 2003 sp2 and wxp pro sp2, when i'm typing inside a cell witihin a table, sometimes when i hit the right margin of the particular column, the column would moves to the right to accomodate the text rather than the text itself warping around the next line below. other times it is just the reverse i.e. when i reach the the column grid on the right, automatically i am warped to the line below? any explanations and work-around to enforce consistent behavior of this particular table's properties i.e. so that it either fixed the grid so that my text warp around to the next line or it keep pushing the grid (assuming english language usage where words are type left to right). thanks for advice, help and explanation, jes |

column's grid behavior
thanks stefan! i am surprised that microsoft did not set an initial default
behaviour i.e. either behaviour seems to occur randomly in my case. regards, jes |

Glad I could help.
To create tables whose columns don't automatically resize, you would have to use an AutoText entry, created from an existing table (which has the "Automatically resize..." option turned off). In order to turn "Automatically resize..." off for all existing tables in a document, you would need a macro. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "xppuser" wrote in message ... thanks stefan! i am surprised that microsoft did not set an initial default behaviour i.e. either behaviour seems to occur randomly in my case. regards, jes |

column's grid behavior
hi stefan,
thanks again for your furhter explanation. i am not too bothered whether it is fixed or not but just surprise that it did not behave (seemingly) in a consistent manner. otherwise occasionally it is an annoyance but overall it did not affect my work. regards, jes |
