Ive just upgraged from office 2000 to 2007. I was using a set of tables to
display merged data from an excel file in my word document. Previously I
could make the text shrink to fit the cell if it was longer than the space
provided. Now if I select the 'fit text' option under cell options the field
just continues off beyond the range of the cell. The 'wrap text' option will
work fine but adds another line in the cell and messes up the formating of
the document.

Hi ?B?RGF2ZQ==?=,

the document.

I think you'll find that if you merge to a new document (under the "Finish"
button, the option to edit the individual documents) the result will behave the
same as in previous versions.
