SYMPTOMS
When you click and drag (move) a table down in your document, the table may jump up to a different position than you wanted.



CAUSE
This problem only occurs when you first move the table. By default, a table is inserted into a Word document in line with the text. When you first move the table, Word must convert the table to "floating" with text wrapping of Around. During the conversion process, Word may incorrectly place the "floating" table in a different position than you wanted.



WORKAROUND
Move the table a second time. After you move the "floating" table, the table remains where you place it.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about moving a table, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type How do I move a table? in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
