When working with Word tables, re sizing a column's width requires placing the mouse exactly on the line, waiting for the mouse pointer to change to the sizing control, and then you click and drag.  The problem is that the tolerance is so unforgiving (a few pixels one way or the other) that is rather difficult to get and keep the mouse in exactly the right spot to invoke the sizing handle.  Because the tolerance is so narrow, by the time you click to drag, the handle control often reverts to a regular mouse pointer because you moved the mouse a pixel, and instead you find yourself highlighting cell content instead of dragging the column width.  And you have to keep repeating this process over and over trial-and-error fashion until you finally get the sizing handle to display long enough to actually invoke it when clicking.   It is rather frustrating.  My question is this:  Is there a way to increase the tolerance to invoke a sizing handle?  In other words, increase the pixel count slightly, either side of the line, that will invoke the control for the sizing handle?   Instead of a few pixels, to something much more realistic/functional, like maybe 5 to 7 pixels either side of the line.  This is also a problem when dealing with columns in Windows Explorer - you find yourself dragging a column instead of re-sizing it because by the time you click the mouse, the sizing control has reverted to a regular mouse pointer - this has long been a source of wasted time and frustration to me.  I'm hoping there might be a way to change this in the Windows registry.  Thank you.
