fix Microsoft Word Document
I’ve messed around w/ this document trying to get this going, and hopefully it’s possible to do this, but the attached Word file does not keep the text aligned as it supposedly did before.
As you can see by the picture, the table expands instead of keeping the text wrap option.
Is there a way to get the text wrapping back? If the text just stretches out the right as it is now, you won’t be able to see the whole document.
I’ve tried a few things, but doesn’t seem to stay that way once I click out of the table.
As you can see in the picture below the text just stretches' instead of staying aligned in the table.
I attached the Word file.Kinship Assessment WORD #2.docx

I can remove the pics but haven't figured that out yet.
So the pictures aren’t needed? I‘ll see what I can do with the document shared.

I think I got rid of the pictures in this copy, and now I need to get the text in the table to wrap.

Start by going to Page Layout and set Columns to 1 instead of Left

Select the table.
Right-click the table and select Table Properties.
In the Table tab, under Text Wrapping, click Around.
Click the Positioning button.
Under Horizontal, click the drop-down arrow in the Position box and select Center.
Click the drop-down arrow in the Relative To box and select Page.
Under Vertical, click the drop-down arrow in the Position box and select Center.
Click the drop-down arrow in the Relative To box and select Page.
Under Distance From Surrounding Text, click the up arrow once in the Top text box.
Click the up arrow once in the Bottom text box.
If necessary, clear the Move With Text check box, then click OK twice.

Removed the images, Section Breaks, tweaked the margins, changed the Table Properties > Row options to prevent row breaks across pages, shifted the left margin of the table to centre on the page. Cleared out metadata.
Is this closer to what you want?

What if you change the Page Layout Orientation to Landscape? [Strange this opened in a different orientation for me]

I know you can't select the entire table by going ctrl+a, and there are times that I can highlight both columns at times to make changes to the whole time, but I assume you can't select each individual column fixed width.
I create a new table and have 2 columns w/ fixed column width but still seems to want to stretch.
Not sure who made this.
