Hi all,

I am quite familiar with Tables (or so I thought!) but this one table that
someone sent to me has some cells that do not text wrap. If I move the edge
of the table further right then I can see the text. If I decrease the size
of the table (move the right edge left-ward), the text does not show but the
cell does increase in size. It's like the extra line is there but no text
shows.

I have confirmed that TablePropertiesCellOptions has Wrapped Text checked.

Using Word 2000 on XP stand alone.

thx for any suggestions,
karen

On the Cell tab of the Table Properties dialog, click Options... and make
sure that the "Wrap text" box is checked.

Also, make sure that the paragraph in question doesn't have a negative
indent (though that doesn't sound like the issue here).

Thx a mint for mentioning all possibilities Suzanne. I did have Wrap Text
checked (I noted in my post), but it was the Negative Indent. I took it out
and ta-da!! (I think the person who created the table cut & pasted from
another doc.)

Thx again - I'd spent about 45 min over 2 days trying to figure it out!

Enjoy-la!
