Hello,
I'm using Word 2003 out of necessity, and I've encountered a problem. I'm currently creating a large text file with big tables whose writing direction is bottom to top, and to reproduce them more easily, I've copied and pasted the table header on each page, then copied and pasted the first row until it looked right.
That's where the problem arises: the tables are linked in terms of column width, so when I widen one, it widens on the other pages... how can I remove this link between the columns? It's quite bothersome, actually.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
When copying and pasting, all your tables are merged into just one.
I think the best thing to do is to unmerge them so that each one is independent.
To do this: click in the header row of the table, then tab Table Tools/Layout, group Merge => Split Table.

There is no shame in not knowing everything, but taking credit for other people's work is the most contemptible thing... Please remember to cite your sources!

You can also create a corresponding style; if you have a lot of tables, it will be more practical, faster, and cleaner.
I do not recommend applying wrapping to the table, it’s a source of trouble.
