Dragging column border

Question

When I have a table and want to drag the vertical column border right or left, if I position the cursor just right I can see two vertical lines and arrows.

But they're really small and I wonder if there's a way to get something bigger to drag. Increasing the display size doesn't help.

I had this problem with w2010, though if I remember right it wasn't so tricky with w2007.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Answer 1

If you display the horizontal ruler, you can drag column borders there as well. There may be some difference in the results; I don't remember all the details, but they're spelled out in http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/TableBasicsRibbon.htm#SizingTables
