Problem

Symptoms: The Tables Format Column option does not always reflect the current column width. The steps that can be used to illustrate the problem are as follows:
1.      Create a Table and define the Table as 3-columns, 3-rows
2.      In editing mode, place the cursor in Cell A1
3.      Enter the Format option, Column, Width (comes up with 2.17") and change the width to 2.5".
4.      Block Cells A1 and B1 and join the cells.
5.      Enter Format (Note: second row from the bottom displays the column width as 4.33"), and press 2 (Column), 1 (Width). WP displays the column width as 2.17" (not 2.5" or 4.33").
The customer thinks that 4.33" should appear as the column width. Solutions: The program "remembers" the columns that were joined so the column attributes show the columnar width (total of Columns A and B if they were joined). A workaround for this problem is to delete the column and add it again by pressing 1 (Size), 2 (Column), # of Columns, and press Enter. Of course, if there is any text in that column, it would be deleted also.
