If for example cells have been merged and/or split and subsequently need to
be split again - sometimes the cell border does not line up with the cell border immediately above or below. The only way I have found to do this is to: 1. go into a larger view and use the Alt key but this can still not be 100% accurate. 2. Distribute the columns evenly but then you may have to alter the widths back again because they may not need to be the same width but at least you get the cell border for each row together. Any better suggestions? Thanks |

Instead of trying to set widths manually, try using the Table Properties
menu. Select the column width or row height tabs. You can do this for an entire column by holding down Alt, then clicking on any cell in the row. "Phippsy" wrote in message ...

Actually, it is not always true that the Table Properties dialog box
can be used to specify a common width for all the cells in a column. But you can restore the old Cell Height and Width dialog box, which does a better job.

You are quite correct - the first reply was useful but I have tried that and
found the same problems as given in the second reply. The second reply answers all - thank you so much - both of you!
