SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, you cannot manipulate or select a table from within an expanded style area.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Open a Word for Windows document. From the View menu, choose Normal.
 * 2) From the Tools menu, choose Options. Select the View category, and set the Style Area Width to 1&quot;. Choose the OK button.
 * 3) From the Table menu, choose Insert Table, and choose the OK button to accept the default settings.
 * 4) Position the mouse pointer above the left border of the table until it becomes a column marker. Hold down the left mouse button, and drag the column marker into the style area.

At this point, the table cannot be selected from the style area. Clicking the mouse makes the cursor become a column marker.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
