Table column formatting
In Word 97 I could move columns around to suit my needs, in Word XP every
tme I move one column the others resize. Is there a switch to turn off this (un)helpful facility? D. |

There are a couple of issues he
1. Auto resizing. Turn this off at Table Properties | Table | Options. 2. How columns are sized. If you're actually moving columns (swapping their locations), probably turning auto resizing off will take care of the problem. When you're sizing columns, there are various ways to drag the column boundaries for different effects; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/TableBasics.htm. For more control over row and column formatting, you can revert to the old Table | Cell Height and Width dialog; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ePropProbs.htm -- Suzanne S.
