Leading the way in Microsoft Office Development

Step 1 - Adjusting Column Widths

Position the mouse pointer on the border to the right of the column that you want to resize.

Changing the widths of columns will change the overall size of the table.

Rest the pointer over the column boundary you want to change.

The mouse pointer will change the column to its new location..

Hold down the mouse and drag the column to a new width.

A dotted line will appear showing its new position.

Step 2 - Distribute Columns Evenly

This will adjust each column in the selected range so they have equal width.

 Distribute Columns Evenly - Adjusts all the columns in the current selection to the same column width.

Highlight all the columns in the table and press the Distribute Columns Evenly button on the Tables and Borders toolbar.

Step 3 - Things to Remember

It is not possible to define exact widths (or percentages) for your columns.

Using the (Insert > Table) dialog box will always create uniform tables which have equally spaced columns.
