Tiny "superscript" cells

[Travis]

I keep having some cells with a tiny "superscript" type of cell within a
cell. What is it, and how can I cancel it? Some text I type is regular and
goes in the normal cell. Some text, however, goes into this tiny superscript
type of thing, and I can't get it to type right.

I know the answer has to be simple, but how do I work with this?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?VHJhdmlz?=,

I keep having some cells with a tiny "superscript" type of cell within a
cell. What is it, and how can I cancel it? Some text I type is regular and
goes in the normal cell. Some text, however, goes into this tiny superscript
type of thing, and I can't get it to type right.

I know the answer has to be simple, but how do I work with this?

I can't recall ever hearing about anything like this... Which version of Word
are we dealing with?

Does it look the same way in Print Preview? And when you print to paper?

Possibly a nested table? Do you have table gridlines displayed? Text
boundaries?

 

[Travis]

I don't know what a nested table is.

All gridlines are showing, but no lines are visible inside those cells which
have the tiny invisible cell or whatever.

I'm not familiar with text boundaries.

A nested table is a table inside a table, such as you describe in connection
with the calendar.

Alright - thanks. I've looked at that, and that's not the problem. Any other
ideas? I'm sure lost!

If you want and if you don't mind me seeing the content, you can send me
your document. I will be happy to look at it.

Got your email... I meant send me your actual Word document, Seeing your
table in my email software will not help me se the problem in Word...
You do not have to send me the whole document. Do a "Save as", then edit the
document so that only relevant parts are left and send me that "reduced"
document.

For those who might have seen this behaviour before, here are some more
clues from Travis' email:
"This table was copied from Corel WordPerfect 7 originally, into Word 2003."

A conversion or a copy/paste problem...? Never used Corel WordPerfect 7, so
I could not say. But looking at the Word document, I might find a way to fix
it.

Tables pasted from WordPerfect are notorious for strange behavior,
often because the row height has been set very small.
