SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to turn off the Allow spacing between cells option for a Word table in a Visual Basic for Applications macro by using the Spacing property, the option is not turned off.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Spacing property does not allow for the disabling of the Allow spacing between cells option. The Spacing property returns or sets the spacing between the cells in a table, in points.
