Hello. I'm new to these forums. I've hunted a bit here in the Tables forum and also searched, but haven't found anything similar to my question. I apologize if it's been asked before.

I'm having a weird problem (at least I've never seen it before) with text wrapping prematurely in a table cell (in Word 2007 on a Windows 64-bit system).

I have a table (shown in the screenshot which I've attached) with eight columns and nine rows. The font size for text in each cell is set to 9 pt (Arial Narrow).

The table as a whole is set to have a preferred width of 6.48 inches. Column 1 (and the cells within that column) is set to have a preferred width of 2 inches. Columns 2-8 (and the cells within those columns) are set to have a preferred width of 0.64 inches.

The table as a whole is set to not automatically resize to fit the contents. Each cell in the table is set to not wrap text and not fit text.

If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that I have started to put text in the cell located at the intersection of row 2 and column 2. I have put a "Y' in that cell (I'm trying to spell out "Year 1"). If I try to enter any additional text, it instantly wraps (with only the "Y" showing, but the remaining text falling below the visible part off the cell.

I'm baffled - I've never seen this happen before and nothing I try seems to resolve the problem.

I would very much appreciate it if someone could let me know what I might be doing wrong.

Thanks again!
