Research (Alt-Click) shortcut change

[Guest]

Hello, I need help regarding the following;

I am used to hold the Alt key while dragging to change the coloum width in a
table. but in Word 2003, evey time I use this feature the research bar will
pop up. Is there a way to customize the research bar other than the ALT+Click
combination?

Thanks

Unfortunately, no, there is no way to change the shortcut for the research
pane, but there are other shortcuts for selecting parts of tables (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/TableBasics.htm), and the Alt+click
shortcut should not affect Alt+drag provided you are careful to keep the
mouse button depressed long enough so that a click is not registered.
