Disable Automatic Resize in Word Tables 2007
How can I make the box unchecked as the default? This is driving me nuts!!
Also, is there a way to "float" the borders on/off as you could in 2003? Thanks in advance for your help, |

Disable Automatic Resize in Word Tables 2007
If by box you mean the borders, you can use table normal instead of table
grid as your default table style for all tables based on your template (such as normal.dotm). Tables will be created without borders--but of course you can add them when wanted. You cannot modify table normal, so if you want other setting changes in every new table, create a new table style and make that the default. If by "float the borders" you mean show or not show nonprinting gridlines, look in the table format tab table group View gridlines. Pam L.

Disable Automatic Resize in Word Tables 2007
I appologize. I should have been more clear. I am trying to make the defalt
for "Resizing tables to fit contents" unchecked. It is under table properties / options. The other thing I was talking about was in 2003 you could "pull" the borders off the toolbar and have them float on the screen. Thank you very much for your help.

Disable Automatic Resize in Word Tables 2007
If you're referring to the Borders and Tables toolbar, no, there are no
floating or tear-off toolbars in Word 2007. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "L. Roper" wrote in message ... I appologize.
