Subject:Annoying MS Word Table Sizing Issue From:"Amy Branscome" <abranscome -at- lionmts -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 7 Mar 2006 11:59:40 -0800
I have an old Word document full of tables I need to resize to fit within the
margins and to be consistent throughout the document. Every time I try to
change the size or position of the table or a column using the resize
pointer, the table does the opposite I've asked it to (i.e. goes left when
I've tried to move it right, goes right when I tried to move it left). I've
removed every "preferred width" option I can find, I've tried splitting the
table into separate rows...nothing is working consistently.
Please help me!
