Resize Word table cells without moving/resizing the other cells?
Within a cell in a table, I have drawn additional cells that must be evenly
sized, and allow input. These cells must stay confined to the size of the cell. I can't resize any cell without the other cells automatically adjusting. Can you please help? I am also working with vertical text inside these cells so the columns are acutally rows and vice versa. |

Resize Word table cells without moving/resizing the other cells?
Select the area of the table that contains the cells that you want to resize
and hold down the Shift key (plus the Alt key for more control) and then with the mouse, drag the cell boundary indicator on the Ruler to move the boundary between the two cells that are separated by that boundary. Note that you must move the indicator on the Ruler, not the boundary in the table. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "hoozieg" wrote in message ...

Resize Word table cells without moving/resizing the other cell
Thank you Doug. This helped to a point. The cells above and below this
divided cell still adjust themselves to the slightest change. At one point, I had it aligned perfectly, then realized I needed to merge 3 cells together for centered input of a date. That threw the whole thing off again. Arrrgh! When they merge together, you would think the total width of the one cell would remain the same as when they were 3 separate cells! So...still tweaking!
