= SUMMARY =

When you double-click the paragraph properties mark (the little black box, or “hot spot,” that appears in the selection bar left of a paragraph that has been positioned), Microsoft Word does not open the Position dialog box (on the Format menu) if the positioned object is a table.

To activate the Position dialog box for a table, select the table and choose Position from the Format menu.

This behavior is by design of the program. The selection bar, the area to the left of all paragraphs where the hot spot is located, is prioritizing the selection of text rather than recording the hot spot.
