ALT+SHIFT+Arrow shortcut to move table rows
Hi
I am working in a Word97 document that has recently been converted to a Word 2003 document. I am currently viewing and modifying a table in the document whilst in Word 2003 and the standard ALT+SHIFT+Arrow shortcut used to quickly relocate a table row is not working as expected. When I select a row (or position my cursor in a row) and use the shortcut, surrounding rows are also being highlighted and moved up/down. Sometimes this is resulting in a table split. (Note: In some instances attempting to relocate a paragraph of text using this shortcut results in a similar problem). Is this a conversion issue, compatibility option or a problem with the actual table? Any insight would be very much appreciated. Thankyou Nicola |

Hi Nicola,
I don't remember having heard of new bugs with OutlineMoveUp/Down (Alt+Shift+Up/Down), either using it on table rows, or on paragraphs. Perhaps it's a problem with the particular document? Tables do seem to corrupt more easily in the newer versions. If you mail me a sample doc to my private mail address, and describe which rows are giving you trouble, I could try to reproduce it, or maybe find out what's causing it.

If you switch to Outline View before using the shortcut, does that
make a difference? -- Stefan Blom "Nicola" wrote in message ... Hi I am working in a Word97 document that has recently been converted to a Word 2003 document.

When I select a row (or position my cursor in a row) and use the shortcut,
surrounding rows are also being highlighted and moved up/down. I just saw that behaviour, too. Unfortunately I didn't remember Stefan's suggestion. And now after closing/re-opening the document, I can't reproduce it or test the suggestion. Klaus |
