270493 2004-09-09 00:13:00 In MS Word I used to click on the Insert Tables button and a box would come up to select how many rows and columns I needed. Someone else used my computer for a while and next time I went to insert a table I get a Insert Table dialogue box? I have tried to replace a button with another from Customize but the same thing keeps happening. Can anyone tell me how to get back to being able to just select the cells? It is really annoying.

270494 2004-09-09 00:43:00 Be interested to see any solution.

It appears that if the button is removed from the toolbar and replaced, the replaced option is the dialogue box and not the shortcut method of selecting rows and columns, at least in Office 2003.

I am guessing you are clicking on the Insert Tables button on the Tables and Borders Toolbar which gives you what you are describing. Try clicking on the Tables button in the Standard Toolbar.

270496 2004-09-09 01:24:00 View|Toolbars|Customize|Toolbars tab, select the option Standard in the Toolbars list then click the Reset button. This will change the standard toolbar to the installation default which should fix this. parry (27)
270497 2004-09-09 01:26:00 A note to those instructions is to ensure you apply these changes to Normal.Dot. You may need to close then re-open Word for the changes to take affect. parry (27)
270498 2004-09-09 01:30:00 That fixes it for me thanks Parry, and Oxie, thats not the problem. Once its removed/replaced it behaves the same everywhere. godfather (25)
270499 2004-09-09 01:40:00 Yippee, it is fixed and back to normal. Thanks to all for their help :) T:-) (1297)
