Default Column Width keeps changing


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.
