column width-resizing not working
I need to make a very narrow column, but WORD (2002) will not allow me to
make it as small as I need it to be. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of WORD, but I can't figure out why I cannot do it now. I've tried everything; including using the ruler, setting my column width to zero, using the ALT key while dragging, unchecking and checking all the options having to do with a column. Nothing works. HELP! (please) |

Hi Gina,
Using Table|Table Properties|Column, you can format a column's width down to 0.001cm, which Word effectively interprets as 0. Even this leaves some space for the cell borders, however. If you're table has anything greater than 0 set as the left & right cell margins for that column (look under Table|Table Properties|Cell|Options), this will increase the minimum achievable column width.
