How to add a cell to a table and have all existing cells wrap?
I have a document that is set-up using a "label format". I use it for
addresses and an trying to keep an alphabetical order. When I try to add a cell in the middle of the table and select "shift cells right", it pushes the existing cells off the page rather then wrapping them to keep the page formatting intact. Can anyone tell me the best way to add cells to a table and keep the formatting intact? -- KS |

Can anyone tell me the best way to add cells to a table and keep the formatting intact? You can't. Word's tables just don't work that way -- there's nothing that can move cells from one row to another. The best method is to convert the existing table to a mail merge source document (http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...ail_merge.htm), to which you can add entries, sort any way you like, and print all or just some of the entries onto labels (http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...h_word_xp.htm). -- 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. |
