WD6X: Can't Drag Table or Column Button Grids Between Monitors (121456)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
This article was previously published under Q121456 SYMPTOMS
With your Apple Macintosh connected to two video monitors, if you anchor
the Word for the Macintosh Standard toolbar on the inside edge of the
secondary monitor and choose the Columns or Insert Table button, you cannot
drag the column or table grid onto the primary monitor.
Furthermore, if your secondary monitor is positioned on the left side of
your primary monitor and if the Standard toolbar is located somewhere on
the secondary monitor, the table or column grids always appear on the right
side of the monitor, regardless of the location of the toolbar. As a
result, you cannot drag across the table or column grid because you cannot
drag the grid over to the primary monitor. In other words, the Insert Table
and Columns buttons are nonfunctional when the Standard toolbar is anchored
on a secondary monitor that is located on the left side.
CAUSE
By design, Word restricts the Insert Table and Columns button grids to a
single monitor. If the two monitors are a different size, color depth, or
resolution, the grids would be distorted when they are split across two
monitors.
WORKAROUND
Anchor the Standard toolbar somewhere on the primary monitor, or position
your secondary monitor on the right side of the primary monitor.
