Using borders in tables in 2003
Hi
I want to create a single column table that has a dotted border or line on every other row. I thought by copying and pasting a 'set' of two rows (with a dotted line followed by a solid line) I could simply fill an A4 sheet with this style. But copying and pasting just gives me two rows all with full borders. Can anyone help? -- Jackie D |

Jackie D,
When you paste (in the empty paragraph beneath the table), there should be a tiny little button appearing called the paste options button. Click on it and choose to keep the formatting of the original table. Then hit F4 as many times as you like till the page is full. Does this help? -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Jackie D" schreef in bericht ... Hi I want to create a single column table that has a dotted border or line on every other row.

Maybe you could help with another annoying thing happening in tables? When I cut and paste from one table to another how do I force the 'imported' text to retain the text formatting of the table it's being pasted into? At the moment my new text is appearing in italics even though neither tables are formatted in italics. I've got track changes selected on the table I'm cutting text from, if this is the cause. -- Jackie D "Luc" wrote: Jackie D, When you paste (in the empty paragraph beneath the table), there should be a tiny little button appearing called the paste options button.

Jackie,
Tested it here, only have a problem when I cut from a table and paste in a table with track changes on. Which seems to be the opposite of what you are experiencing. Normally I use the unformatted text option from the Paste Options button when I move or copy text from one to the other. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Jackie D" schreef in bericht ...

Perhaps I'll try doing the same. Thanks for thinking about it.

I use Paste Special to do this. When the selection dialog pops up, choose
Unformatted text. The prevailing target document style is applied to the pasted text. Richard "Jackie D" wrote: Perhaps I'll try doing the same.
