Why do my table columns move again after I resize them?
When I resize a table column in Word, I drag the border to where I want it to
go, but then most of the time Word then changes the column width to something entirely different - usually it's worse than before I did the resize! Is this some automatic "helpful" feature that I can turn off? It's driving me crazy! |

Do you have auto resizing disabled already?

I have now disabled auto resizing, and it is better than before. It sometimes
still does strange things but nothing I can't live with! - thanks. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Do you have auto resizing disabled already? -- Suzanne S.

You may also want to choose TableAutoFitFixed Column Width; this
removes any percentage widths for the table and its columns and, as a result, prevents column widths from changing (note that this option also turns off the auto resizing, if it's enabled). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Meredith Thompson" wrote in message ...

This has drove me crazy for an hour,
I finally went to format dropdown menu, Reveal formatting and check all the formatting in the table and tuned it all off. Final I split the table into two and made sure there was a paragraph break between the tables and it seams to work now Hope this helps "Meredith Thompson" wrote: When I resize a table column in Word, I drag the border to where I want it to go, but then most of the time Word then changes the column width to something entirely different - usually it's worse than before I did the resize!
