Default Hide/Disable the Table Move Handle

I'm very ambivalent about the table handle. It's all too easy to nudge it
accidentally, and the slightest nudge will make a table wrapped. I tend to
work in Normal view, which avoids the problem, but then I can't double-click
on the table handle to select the table, and that *is* a convenience (a
convenience I understand has been lost in Word 2007 sigh).

Amazing what can be achieved once you UNDERSTAND the logic and
workings behind the feature !

Works like magic now .. many thanks Beth/MS .. brought my faith back
in Word :-)


You're welcome. I'm glad to hear you have it sorted out. Isn't always easy
once you have the solution? ;-)

Default Hide/Disable the Table Move Handle

Double clicking on the handle used to bring up the Table Properties Dialog,
a facility that has been lost in 2007.

Selecting the Table by single clicking on the handle remains.
