Adjusting column widths
If you want to control precisely the widths of columns in a table, first set the Layout Preference property in Page Setup to Fixed Width. The option to set a column’s width is not available if the layout type is Auto Expand Width.
How to set a column’s width
1 Select the column, right‑click it, then choose Column➛Column Width.
2 On Column Properties, as shown in
Figure 2‑36, type the width value. The default unit is inches, but you can select cm, mm, picas, or points.
