Rearrange columns in a repeating table

Like any other table, a repeating table typically contains a number of vertical columns. However, you shouldn't attempt to copy a column and paste it elsewhere in the table, because this can cause binding errors. To rearrange columns, you must follow the steps in the Repeating Table Binding Wizard.

1. In design mode, double-click the Repeating Table label below the table.
2. On the Data tab in the Repeating Table Properties dialog box, click Change Binding.
3. On the first page of the Repeating Table Binding Wizard, do one of the following:
   • If your form uses a single data source, click Next.
   • If your form uses more than one data source, click the one that you want to use in the Data source list, and then click Next.

4. In the Columns in table list on the second page of the wizard, select the column that you want to move, and then do one of the following:
   • To move a column to the left, click Move Up.
   • To move a column to the right, click Move Down.
5. Repeat step 4 for each column that you want to move.

Note  When you rearrange columns, existing text formatting or column sizes may be lost.
