nested table word 2007
I am working in a 2007 document. 116 pgs (I know, over 100 pgs in older Word
versions caused problems; maybe still?). There are pages and pages of tables. Several tables came from documents originally created in 2003. I am ending up sporadically having nested tables -- up to 6 or 7 tables suddenly and inexplicably on top of one another. I have to click to activate the table properties and either cut the top table or sometimes I must click through to access the Frame dialog box and click "remove frame." Both methods are necessary - sometimes I can click the properties symbol to access a top-layer table and cut it; other times I cannot activate it and must click the external edge of the table (which I guess is the bottom table), then get to the Frame box, remove frame, and then cut the table. Can anyone explain this or have a better solution? thank you. |

nested table word 2007
Word documents up to 10,000 pages have been created in very old versions of
Word. Tables do add complexity, but Word especially has difficulty handling is tables that go on for many pages, especially single-row tables. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/FastTables.htm But you should not be having the problems you describe unless your tables are wrapped. As long as you set the text wrapping to None, they should behave. Note that whenever you drag a table to move it, it becomes wrapped. Note that what you describe is not really "nested" tables but merely superimposed tables. -- Suzanne S.
