SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you change the width of a table column and move or cut that column and paste it to another position in the table, Word changes the column width to match the width of the column located to the left of the new position.

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

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) In a new Word for Windows document, insert a 6 column by 3 row table.
 * 2) Position the insertion point in the third column.
 * 3) From the Table menu, choose Select Column.
 * 4) From the Table menu, choose Column Width. In the Width Of Column 3 box, select .5&quot; and choose the OK button.
 * 5) From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
 * 6) Position the insertion point in the fifth column. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Columns. Note that the column width of the pasted column is the same as that of the fourth column.
