Not in the way that you describe. As a workaround you could temporarily remove the narrowing cookies <10>. Take care of not breaking a TBLFM when moving a whole row with all cookies out of the table, in this case e. g. keep an empty row. > Is there another way to go about this problem? There is "C-u C-u C-c `" (`org-table-edit-field') to fully view and optionally edit field by field one field at a time in a separate window described in (info "(org) Built-in table editor"). Michael
