I'm trying to format my resume from a Word installed template. The template uses a two column table. I can format the cells in the 2nd column indepenantly, but any formatting I do in the first column applies to all the cells in that column. How do I turn this off so that some cells in that column are left justified and some are right justified and maybe some have a different format size???? Thanks, In advance.
Hi LynxSL, I suspect the first column in your table is using a Word style whose attributes are set to 'automatically update'. You can change this behaviour by selecting the text in one of those cells, then using Format|Style and unchecking the 'automatically update' option. -- Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "LynxSL" wrote in message news:7D7375F1-3249-4C92-9BE9-DC97D969A822@microsoft.com... > I'm trying to format my resume from a Word installed template. > The template uses a two column table.

Thanks for the help. But I'm Using the latest version of Word ( with the ribbons). And I can't find the format|style options. There is a style portion of the Home ribbon, but I can't find this "automatically update" option on that.

Click the dialog launcher (arrow in the bottom right corner of the Styles group) to open the Styles task pane. Then right-click on the relevant style and choose Modify. The ensuing dialog has a check box for "Automatically update." -- Suzanne S.
