Table will not allow sorting because "cells are merged". I can't find the merged cells.
I have deleted all header rows, and headers/footers.
I have searched and search and cannot find any merged cells. How can I find what is upsetting the Sort process? |

Just a hunch: When columns are not perfectly aligned, Word tables can get confused. This can happen, for instance, when a cell's vertical border is moved, inadvertently or not.
It can also be difficult to see. I recommend enlarging the view so that even a slight misalignment will show. Another detective technique is to select each column individually and see if the selection jumps to a horizontally neighboring cell at any point. If you find a cell wall that needs adjusting, select the cell, with or without adjacent cells, or the row, and use Alt+drag to fine tune the alignment at an enlarged view. Hope this helps. |
