ID: Q79188

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, framing a row in a table may rearrange the contents of the entire table. The default formatting for frames includes text wrapping around the frame; therefore, the next row may wrap around the inserted frame.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. From the Table menu, choose Insert Table. Set up a 1-column, 3-row

   table, and choose the OK button.

2. From the Table menu, choose Cell Height and Width (Column Width in

   Word 2.0), set the column widths to 2 inches, and choose the OK
   button.

3. Select the second row. From the Insert menu, choose Frame.

The third row wraps to the right of the second row.

Workaround

To work around this problem, insert the frame around the row. With the frame selected, choose Frame from the Format menu, and choose None (ALT+N) for Text Wrapping.
