			I'm making a form and have inserted a table with multiple rows and columns. If I adjust the left border of a cell in row 15 and it ends up matching up with the left border of a cell in row 2, Word begins to treat them as if they are the same column.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Now, if I move the left-hand border of the cell in row 15, it automatically moves the left-hand border in row 2. How do I stop this?!?!? I don't really want to have to mess with multiple tables due to spacing, but is there any other way to adjust the auto-format settings? I have the autowidth function turned off already.  |

			You can achieve your aim by making sure the entire cell on one side or other of the border is highlighted before moving the border.
