III. Word can't type in table cell

In most cases, you can enter text in a Word table at will, but sometimes you will encounter the situation that you cannot enter text in the table in Word. What causes this situation? There are several reasons why text cannot be entered in the table. One: the First line is indented; the second: the document cannot be edited; the third: the font is set to the same color as the background; the fourth: the font is too large, or the line break is moved to an invisible position at the end, and the table is not in an automatic adaptation state. Fifth: The software that conflicts with Word is installed.

For the above situations, it is more common that software conflicts and First line cause the Word table to be unable to enter text. Let's start with the former and look at each situation in detail.

(I) Installed software that conflicts with Word

In this case, not only you cannot type in the table, but also nowhere in the document. Check whether any add-ins or software tools have been installed before this happens. If they are installed, close them (to be closed in the Process of the Windows Task Manager) or uninstall them.

(II) The First line causes the table to be unable to type text

1. Click on the cell where text cannot be entered. For Word 2010 or above, select the Home tab, click the diagonal Arrow next to Paragraph,see if Special is First line,and enter a relatively large value (such as 1 inch). Too much indentation, the cell width is limited, it will happen that you cannot enter text.

2. If it is the case, change the 1 inch of First line to 0.5 inches; or select None for Special,the cell can enter text. The demo is shown in Figure 7:

Figure 7

(III) The document can't be edited cause you can't type text in the table

1. Check whether the document is editable, especially the downloaded document. Generally, a document will have a button such as Edit Anyway at the top, and click it once to enter the editing state, and you can also type text. Or see if there is a cursor flashing in the document, or click anywhere to see if the cursor appears.

2. Some documents have been set to prohibit editing for protection reasons, and can only be re-edited after canceling the prohibition.

(IV) The font is set to the same color as the background

The background of the document in Word is generally white. Check whether the current font color is also set to white. If so, just choose another color.

In addition, check if the font is too large, the line break is moved out of the cell (the line break is not visible), the table is set to not AutoFit to content, etc.

If you still cannot enter after trying the above operations, if some cells cannot be typed, you can try to clear their format. The method is: select the Home tab, click the Clear command in the Font group (the one with a red eraser on the uppercase A), or hold down Alt and press H and M in turn. The demo is shown in Figure 8:
