Try it! Insert a table.
- Go to the Insert tab and click on Table. Move the cursor over the squares to draw your own table, which will automatically appear on your Word document.
- Or, go to the Insert tab, click on Insert Table.
- Set the number of columns and rows.
- In the AutoFit behavior section, you have three options for setting how wide your columns are:
- Fixed column width: Let Word automatically set the column width with Auto, or you can set a specific width for all of your columns.
- AutoFit to contents: Create very narrow columns that expand as you add content.
- AutoFit to window: Automatically change the width of the entire table to fit the size of your document.
- Fixed column width: Let Word automatically set the column width with Auto, or you can set a specific width for all of your columns.
- Click on OK.
Note: If you want each table you create to look like the table you are creating, check Remember dimensions for new tables.
