Here’s how I aligned it in just a couple of seconds (Word 365 for Windows): In addition to the columns not aligning, the row ends didn’t align, and some parts of the table were missing borders.
Here’s what her table looked like-I’ve blurred the content, and added arrows pointing to where things went wrong. However, a few weeks ago I read about another trick to get table cells to align (the first method listed here: ), so I thought I’d try that on the client’s table as a first step, and it worked beautifully! Tedious for sure, but sometimes it’s the only way to salvage your sanity-and the table! Invariably my ‘go to’ method (after spending a few minutes and getting nowhere) is to start a new table from scratch and copy/paste the cell information into it. I’ve encountered similar situations many times (possibly because track changes is on when people add/remove table rows or cells, or they try do things with merged table cells without realising that they are merged, or they try to join one table to another). A client had an issue with a Word table-the cells, columns, and rows wouldn’t align no matter what she did.
