Cannot Format Object within a Table
I do not see the "Format Object" when right-clicking on an object that I had
inserted directly into a table. The only workaround is to copy the object, paste it into an area outside the table (or drag it out), right-click, format object and then cut and paste it back into the table. This only appears to be an issue with inserting objects into tables. |

This only appears to be an issue with inserting objects into tables. You're correct that the Format Object command isn't on the right-click (context) menu when the object is in a table. However, in Word 2003 and earlier, click on the object to select it; you'll find Object at the bottom of the Format menu. In Word 2007, some objects can be selected to make another tab appear on the ribbon, which includes the formatting tools you'd expect to find in a Format Object dialog. Others (such as PDF objects) don't do that, so your workaround is needed. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
