Space between columns
In Word 97, there was a feature for setting the space between columns. In
Word 2003, there's no equivalent feature. I have achieved the equivalent with the one-line macro command given below. But I shouldn't have to go to this trouble, and I haven't taken the time to build in a variable yet. Can anyone shed any light on why this feature disappeared? Selection.Rows.SpaceBetweenColumns = InchesToPoints(0.05) |

Space between columns
I could be wrong, David, but I believe that is incorrect. There has always
been a space between columns using Format--Columns, but I don't recall ever hearing of one for tables. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "David Ziegler" David wrote in message ...

Space between columns
Actually, in Word 97, the Cell Width and Height dialog had a "Space
between columns" option (on the Column tab). There is no direct equivalence in Word 2000/02/03. Instead, these versions have cell margins, which can be specified for an entire table (in the Table Options dialog box), or for individual cells (in the Cell Options dialog box). Roughly speaking, the space between columns correspond to the sum of the Left and Right margin setting in the Table Options dialog box. In practice, this means that setting the space between columns in the old Cell Width and Height dialog box to x pt would produce Left and Right margin values, each of which equal x/2 pt. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

I should've looked, Stefan. It's just been too long since I used it.

Space between columns
Well, Word has a tendency to move things around in the user interface,
so it can be hard to keep track. (In this case the move is combined with a different implementation, which makes it even more complicated!) FWIW, you can look in old dialog boxes without actually having old Word versions installed. With the insertion point in a table cell, press Alt+F8 to display the Macros dialog box. For "Macros in", choose "Word commands". Locate the TableFormatCell item, and click Run, and now you'll se it: the Cell Height and Width dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

Space between columns
Like many others, I restored Cell Height and Width to my Table menu. There
are things that can be done with this dialog that can't be done in Table Properties (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ePropProbs.htm); one main advantage is that F4 works with this dialog. -- Suzanne S.
