In table, add column to the right, but then can't size it
In a Word 2007 table, I have my page layout set to Landscape
Orientation for printing. I want to add a narrow new column on the right. I select the current right-most column, then right-click and choose Insert, then Insert Columns to the Right. However, the column Word adds takes up all remaining horizontal space on the page, past even the right margin of the page. The right border of the table (and of that new column) is now not visible, so I can't get to it in order to grab its sizing handles to decrease the width of that added column. I can't see the right border of the table to size it. I tried changing the page margins but at any margin settings the right border of the table is out of visibility, and I can't scroll right to get to it. Any advice? Thanks much. |

Place the insertion point in the table. On the Table Tools Layout tab, click
AutoFit, and then click AutoFit Window. Then you should see all columns and resize as desired. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rick" wrote in message ...

Other alternatives are to set the table width to 100% or to switch to
Normal/Draft view, in which the entire table can be seen. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Using Normal (Draft) view is a clever trick (which I hadn't thought about).

Thanks. After much hunting around in Help, I still can't figure out
how to set the table width to 100%. Can someone help? On Feb 23, 1:06*pm, "Suzanne S.

In table, add column to the right, but then can't size it
Open the Table Properties dialog (there's a button for it in the Table group
of the contextual Table Tools | Layout tab, but you should also be able to right-click anywhere in the table and find that on the context menu; unfortunately, you can no longer get to it by double-clicking the table handle). On the Table tab of the dialog, check the box for "Preferred width," set "Measure in" to "Percent," and enter 100%. -- Suzanne S.
