Default How to increase the grid/ruler’s resolution


Let’s say I want to create a table and I want to adjust the border on the right or the left with finer spaces, let say that the ruler shows me increments in centimeters, but I want to move the border in millimeter increments instead, how can I increase the ruler’s resolution. Thank you for your help.

Although you can change the unit of measurement, that won't make the measurements any more precise. Have you tried holding the Alt key as you drag the borders of the table (I'm assuming that works in MacWord too)? Or you can use the Table Properties dialog box to type in the values you want.

It worked very well as I wanted, using the ALT key and moving the border; I can place it exactly where I want. Thank you very much, it has resolved my problem.!
