Perhaps you didn't read my answer carefully. Don't drag: go to the Table
Properties dialog and *SET* the width.

No Jezebel, not in every case. I can have two tables, one slightly wider
than
the other. Table Properties assures me that the preferred width for both
is
100%, on the same page. But they're not the same width. I can try to drag
one
to be the same width as the other, but it's often impossible--yes,
impossible
for me--to do so. I wish my problem were nonsense; it ought to be; but it
isn't.

Imagine a table with two rows of three cells each. The cells in row 1
need to
be different widths than those in row 2. If the rows are not quite the
same
width, there's no way to make them the same width. You can split the rows
into two tables, use Table Properties to set them to the same "preferred"
width, but this does not always set them to an exact width. Frustrating!
