This article was previously published under Q70990



SYMPTOMS
If the result of a formula is too long (wide) to fit within a table cell, Microsoft Word displays &quot;Error!&quot; in the table cell.

Text that is typed within a cell will wrap when the end of the cell is reached. However, this is not true for the results of formulas that are entered into table cells.

For example:

{eq \F(10000,45345)}



CAUSE
The width of the table cell needs to be wide enough to accommodate the result of the entered formula.



WORKAROUND
If the width of the table cell is set to 0.5 inch, the sample formula in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section of this article will result in an &quot;Error!&quot; message. If the width of the cell is increased, the following fraction will appear:   10000 -  45345

Additional query words: divisible squished wordwrap 97
