I hope I can clearly and concisely explain my problem. Please forgive me if
I run on, and by all means ask for clarification. Question regarding cell/column widths when two rows are attached. Is there any way to adjust cells/columns to different widths, when they are right on top of one another? I can create 2 one-row tables with with various number of cells with various widths. Between these one row tables is a RETURN or space if you will. This allows me to freely adjust the widths to fit my needs. The problem arrises once I DELETE the RETURN and the 2 tables now come into contact with one another. There is NO problem resizing the cell widths on ROW #1 or ROW #2, unless the verticle lines line up with one another when I release the mouse button. If this does occur, I appear to lose the ability to adjust the cell's width independent of the cell directly above or below. Prior to the two vertical lines lining up, I can drag the widths freely. This is obviously NOT a problem with a RETURN between the 2 one line tables as Word interprets these as 2 independent tables. I have tried to click on the verticle border of the cell I desire to adjust while holding down various keys, CTRL, SHIFT, ALT (Which neatly allows free positioning, but still jointly with the cells above and/or below) and combos of each of those without any apparent success. I would greatly appreciate any solution to this delema. -cypher |

If you select the row in question before trying to change the column widths,
you should be able to do so without affecting the following/preceding column. -- Suzanne S.
