As part of my teaching, we always go over the Caption Box and other instances where for a particular style or look, they make use of the colon (:) or the parenthesis usually the closed parenthesis for stylistic purposes.
Another example would be
Situations where between signature blocks, you may have a narrow column filled with parenthesis that serve as a stylistic type separator between the two signature blocks.
The point is that when you take an agency test or you do this at work you should remove the selection "Automatically Resize To Fit Contents" which is found under Table Properties (Options)
1. The column that is designated for the Colons or the closed parenthesis is intentionally squeezed down to accommodate one character.
2. When you start putting in the colons etc., if you do not turn off the above mentioned selection, then you need to place a soft or hard return after each and every instance since the cell will want to expand to accommodate each new character.
3. As soon as you remove the selection "Automatically Resize To Fit Contents" then you can simply type one colon or parentheses after another and each one will automatically fall under the previous one since the cell can no longer expand. Soft or hard returns are no longer necessary once you do this.
4. Finally, to disable "automatically resize to fit contents" select your entire table, right click and go to Table Properties. Go to Options and unclick the selection. Knowing this piece of info can gain a few points on a test and an edge at work if you need to show this to a co-worker.
