cell background
Is there a setting that will change the default setting of a cell background from white to say, light gray, when the cursor is in it? When the user elects a default configuration, or one time configuration, of a white background with the cells outlined in black there is only a very weak visual indication of where the cursor actually is, and you sometimes wind up referring to the formula bar to verify where you are.

Excel Pivot Table
Hi all,I have a pivot table where I created a calculated field that averages three of the fields in the pivot table. My problem is that it averages the 'blank' (which are created from blank fields in the source data) fields instead of ignoring them. How can I average the fields in a Pivot Table and not include the blanks in the average? Use=Sum(F1,F2,F3.)/Count(F1,F2,F3.)Blank cells will add nothing to the Sum total, and Count will only count the cells with numbers; hence you can obtain the average for the numbered cells.Paul'Jeff' <Jeff @discussions.

Text to Column Function Rejects Zeros
Hello,As part of a project, I was conducting a survey (administered online) using Snap survey software. Snap automatically sends results into an Excel file, which is great. However, several of the questions allowed participants to select more than one item ('Check the top 3 things.' etc.). These responses were coded in Excel into a 10101 format, where 1=checked and 0=not checked, all in one cell. Since 0 represents a response, I selected the cell formatting of these columns as Custom (Format->Cell->Number tab->Custom), so any 0s before the first 1 would not drop o.

We haven’t covered tables as much as we would have liked to. It’s time to correct that as the number of people asking questions on how to format tables properly is piling up. Maybe these eight table tips can be an appetizer.
1. How to Make a Table in Microsoft Word
Using tables and even changing them on the fly according to the data has become far easier in the newer versions of Word like Microsoft Word 2019 and Office 365. Intuitive formatting features give you finer (and quicker) control over how a table looks. But first head to the Ribbon > Insert > Table > Insert Table for making your first table.
It gives you five options for creating your first table.
The quickest way to start is with Quick Tables. The built-in designs save you from the lack of design skills. You can modify the designs by adding your own rows and columns or deleting the ones you don’t need.
Another quick way to create a table in Word is the Insert Control feature. You can create a new column or row with one click. Hover the mouse over a table. A bar appears right outside your table between two existing columns or rows. click on it when it appears, and a new column or row will be inserted at that position.
When you want to move or order a row around, use the combination of Alt+Shift+Up Arrow and Alt+Shift+Down Arrow to order the row up or down. Move contiguous rows by selecting them all first.
How to Position Your Table on the Page?
![Mac Mac](/uploads/1/3/3/8/133849041/842438040.png)
Right-click on the table and select Table Properties from the context menu. The Table Properties dialog box is for precise control over the data and its display. Control the size, alignment, and indentation of the table.

- HiI've added some table styles into Quick Table, saved the document as template and send that to my client. However, they cannot see the new tables I've created. Can you please advise?
- Hello,
A Word table annoyance that confuses me, is adding a column and all the other column widths will resize.
For example: I want to add a small column on the left to put in the row number to an existing table with data.
First I adjust the left-indent of the table in -0.6 cm
Then I add a column, setting the width to 0.6 cm
But all the other columns have another width now.
How can I solve this? - wretye5ryabcd.com
- PS I think I said Windows XP when I meant Word 97 !
- I just want to arrange my table, so that it's in alphabetical order of one of the inside columns (Windows 10). Like everything else, it was all so easy in Windows XP !
- please,check my site for hot newstese.com
- I have text at the top of my page. Below the text, I want two separate tables side by side, so that the row heights of each table adjust independently.
I can't figure out how to put just the two tables in their own two columns without affecting the format of the text above the columns.
Any suggestions? - My biggest issue with tables is that every time that I copy paste any anything within or to and from another table, Word just reverts back all the formatting! (font, font size, color, tabs, everything!) Even when I press the delete key in order to delete a paragraph, the previous paragraph immediately looses its formatting. I have no idea why.
It is very hard to work on one table and not have to edit every single sentence that I write. If there is a solution for this, it would be great.
Working with tables in word is a pain. - Wow . how useless could this get. Of course the major problem with tables in Word is that the formatting won't stay fixed. So all of these little button pushes will just be reversed the next time you type a letter. I'd love to find a proper alternative to Word, but oddly, no one seems to want to write one . other packages (e.g., Pages) are worse. And sadly, Microsoft doesn't care about it's Office users . their response is 'we control the market, so live with it'. Thanks for the tips Saikat Basu.
- You can apply a standard table format to your tables from the Table Tools group, Design tab, Table Styles section. You could also create your own custom table style if Microsoft didn't make it incredibly difficult, non-intuitive, and complex to do so.An option to save the current table as a Table Style would make it too easy for users. And it's so awesomely obscure to apply banding to the header rows, for example. Machiavelli would be proud!
- Hello! I am working with Table Styles, and am trying to use the “Repeat as header row at the top of each page” function. I am able to get it to work in individual tables, but not as an general Table Style. I need to provide this as a template to my client, so I need it to be a preset attribute of the Table Style. As a test, I tried to select the “Repeat as header…” functionality in one of Word’s preset Table Styles, and it gave me the same error—putting the background color of the top row into the entire table. Any help much appreciated!
- Hi Saikat,
Thanks so much for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, none of your suggestions apply to my file. None of the tables are joined, there are no manual page breaks, and I have set text wrapping to 'none'. Also, the repeat header functionality works fine, as long as I'm applying it to a single table in the document. It only malfunctions when I try to apply it to a 'Table Style'. I have searched extensively online, and I find little evidence of this issue in relation to Table Styles, which makes me think people aren't using that aspect of this program very often (the Table Style part). And could it be a bug? I don't want to give up yet, but find it hard to believe Word has a functionality that works in a document, but they didn't carry it over to an overarching Style application (even though the interface is there to support it--you can select 'Repeat as header row.' in a Table Style, it just doesn't work). Thanks again for your help. - Ah-hah! I think I figured it out! When you are modifying a Table Style, you need to make sure you've selected 'Header row' from the 'Apply formatting to' dropdown. This is not required when you are placing the 'repeat header' setting into a single table. So far, so good, we'll see if this gives me any more trouble moving forward. https://yellowuni422.weebly.com/how-to-make-text-files-for-web-pages-on-mac.html. Thanks again for fielding my question!

- i Have a huge Table with no inside border, when the table splits across pages the top and bottom border does not appear for the next page, How to fix this.
- Hello, We use tables quite a bit. We like our 'paragraph' spacing to be 6 before and 6 after. This keeps nice distance between the top/bottom line of a cell within the table from the text. It keeps everything uncluttered. We have the spacing set at 6 for all of our tables. However, when we go to paste the information from Excel into the table, it reverts the spacing back to zero. This occurs even using paste text only and keep the current format. Anyway to get the same result or fix this issue?
- Format a paragraph in the style you want, and select it including the paragraph mark.
Then click the drop-down menu in the Home tab/Styles group and click 'Create a style.' Name it something memorable like 'Table Style.' If you want to include both Font and Paragraph settings, make it a Linked style in the Style Type field.Apply the style to the cells. Then when you paste text only, Word should apply the Style you created. If it doesn't, you can quickly apply it.

- Hey Saikat (or should it be Hey Basu?),I'm using Word 2016 in Windows 10 Home.I am in the process of 'cleaning up' numerous forms created by numerous inexperienced users over many years on our county school web site. As a rule, I create all my forms with tables and use table borders to create the 'fill in the blank' parts.My problem is that often, after I choose 'No borders' and when I go back to a cell to turn on the bottom border (creating the 'fill-n-the-blank' line), Word will turn on the top border for the entire row beneath instead/as well. In some of the tables, I can turn off the top border for each individual cell below and that works.leaving the one cell with a bottom border like I intended. But, often, this turns off the bottom as well and I cannot get a bottom border on a single cell without leaving the top on across the entire row below.Falcon 9 block 5 user manual. Here is an example that I've recently given up on.I'm beginning to wonder if this is a uninstall and reinstall Office 2016 situation.rmoody at henry.k12.va.us
- I have the exact same thing happening and it was driving me crazy! I figured out that I can bypass turning on the bottom border of the cell and instead use the border painter - it will paint just the bottom of the individual cell without turning on the top border of the row beneath.
- Why - why - why do my stupid tables hug the top of my page overlapping even headers? Why would anyone, ever want a table to lie on top of a header?
I have a margin set, and I have the wrap text set to none on the table. Still I fight this thing. I try to move it down, it hops back up.
Why can I just move a table to where I want it to be? And why is the only tool to move a table up in one corner and you have to be a mouse whisperer to find the secret tiny spot to made the four-way arrow to appear. Moving a table is like moving a piano.with a VW.
And who do I have to kill to get a page to be deleted?
If anyone - anyone that programs for MS Word sat down and worked a program that is user friendly, and could steal some, even a few, of the intuitive, wysiwyg operations - I would throw a party.
it is SOOOOOO frustrating - I have spent more time trying to format F-ing tables than I spent writing this whole *&@! proposal; and in the process Word shut down once losing all my most recent edits, then as I tried to cut and paste my tables into separate pages I lost a part of my table and had to re-key in 2 pages worth of data.

- I'm having difficulty getting Header Rows to repeat on second page of a table which breaks across two pages.Any help with this would be appreciated.
- there is another and yet very simpler way to create table in ms word. instead of insert-->table-->pick number of rows and columns (this is default), just type
+-----+------+-----+-----+ (dont forget to close the line with a + again) and give enter.
since each + denotes column and each - denotes width, you can pre-decide the width of each filed by using as many - - as the width of the field you need.also you can have two tables side by side, by creating two tables using above trick, then drop an drag one table to the side of other.feed back shall be [email protected] / [email protected] - I received a document that has numerous formatting issues with tables. I have no idea where to begin. The table parts are on separate pages, and when I try to move a table is creates a blank page in between. I need serious help now. Willing to pay
- I hunted around and found it. I kept looking on the ribbon/tab 'Insert' but it was on the higher level Insert menu. What I didn't get was that this was simply an auto text capability, but it is sweet! I was able to insert a nicely formatted table without text in the cells.Thanks for responding!
- Re-use tables - very excited to see this, but I can't find where to do this in the new Mac 2016 version. Do you know whether it is available?
