Table AutoFit Not Working
When I invoke Table AutofFit in Word 2003, it makes column adjustments, but
they are not correct. Specifically, some cell entries spill over to a second line in the cell when there is actually plenty of room to put everything on a single line. This even happens with a single word ending in 's' where the 's' is separated from the rest of the word and put on the second line. Thanks in advance for any help. Ted |

Table AutoFit Not Working
Hi Ted,
Thank you for the sample doc -- That's a really weird one! My guess is that the AutoFit problems are caused by some Asian typography settings in your styles, together with some Asian compatibility settings. Changing the compatibility options (Tools Options Compatibility) to those of your version would likely fix the problem. Maybe better in the long run, get rid of the Asian stuff in your styles. If you copy the Normal style over from some clean template (Tools Templates and Add-Ins Organize...) into your doc, that seems to fix things (since the other styles inherit from Normal), even with the compatibility options unchanged. In case this does not work (because your Normal.dot also has these weird settings), try to copy the Normal style from some other template. In that case, if you don't use Asian scripts, you might also consider to turn off any support for Asian languages (Windows Programs Microsoft Office Microsoft Office Tools Language Settings), and then build a new Normal.dot (= rename it, then start Word to create a new one, and copy over any customizations ... not the styles g ... from the old one). Regards, Klaus |

Table AutoFit Not Working
First posting: I tried to post a new thread, but no "new post" window opens,
so.... Autofit for column width works fine for all columns in a newly created table, except the first column in which I have put auto numbers. The column is too wide. When I DC the right border to auto fit, it makes the column even wider. When I move the border manually to the size I want (good fit without excess margins), it hides the number text slightly. The only adjustment to the column has been to make the numbers right flush. I have tried making a new table in a new document, and get the same results. (By the way, how do I make the right flush alignment option button show in the toolbar? Only get the left and center alignment options.)
