SUMMARY
When you type information in a table in the Word Processor, the insertion point may not be visible. If you scroll to the right to see the column you want to type in, the window may scroll back to its original location once you begin typing.



MORE INFORMATION
This occurs when the table is too large to view on the screen without scrolling. You should use the table's resize handles to resize the table so it is not necessary to scroll.

If the resize handles are not visible, try one of the following:

 Click Shrink Help to show more of the screen. Zoom out until the entire table is visible by clicking the, - (minus) button at the bottom left corner of the screen . Maximize the document window by clicking the maximize button at the right edge of the document's title bar. On the File menu, click Page Setup and reduce the margins. Change the orientation of the document to landscape. Increase your screen resolution in Windows 95, as follows:  Click Start, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.</li> Double-click the Display icon.</li> Click the Settings tab.</li> Slide the Desktop Area arrow to the right to increase the resolution.

NOTE: If you move the arrow too far to the right, your color palette may change to fewer colors.</li> Click OK on each dialog box.</li> If the screen looks normal, click Yes to accept the changes.</li></ol> </li></ol>
