Table won't let me set column width
From time to time, one of my tables will refuse to allow me to set the
widths of one or more columns. I have one right now that insists on setting 3 colimns at 0.19". I have set it to 0.2" but it goes right back to 0.19". Is there some other setting that I need to change? -- Running Word 2K in Office 2K on Win2K-SR2 For email, use Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com |

The first time by a large enough increment that Word will notice the change, i.e. a tenth, then back to the exact figure I want. In your case, I would change it to 0.29", then to 0.20". May be there is something else going on, but since I do it this way I have never had any problems. -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |
