Properties Box in table field

In the properties box, I have this listed in the Row Source section:

"Admin./Non-Exempt";"Manager";"Professional/Exempt";"Director Direct
Report";"Director and above";"Cross-Functional";"Consultant/Temp";"Attorneys
and Specialists"

When I save and go to enter data, the only ones that show up in the drop
down box are "Manager", "Director Direct Report", "Cross-Functional" and
"Attorneys and Specialists". I thought perhaps it was the slash that was not
allowed in the field, so I retitled them without using a slash. Still the
four above are the only ones that show in the drop-down box.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

More info...

I think it may have something to do with "column count". When I switched
the order "Manager" and "Exempt", instead of "Manager" showing up, "Exempt"
appears in the list. Then I started looking at other settings in the
properties box, and the column count was listed at 2. I changed it to one,
and all verbage disappeared from the drop down box. When I go back to 1 for
a column count, I get every other category in the drop-down box.
 
There's nothing quite like answering ones own question here... thanks for
letting me talk to myself for a bit this morning.

For the curious, I discovered it was the "column count" thing in conjunction
with the "column width" setting. In the column width setting, somehow the
first column width setting was at 0", therefore making the first column
disappear when I had the column count at 2, and the entire thing disappear
when I had the column count at 1.

These are new settings to me, so I appreciate your patience as I work
through it.
