Ah!
Dragging cannot be used for the entire table.
So that explains it.
Thanks, Stefan.

When dragging, only the size of the selected column or cell(s) is
affected; there is no way around that.

The only way to preserve the relative widths of columns is to set a
percentage width for the entire table (as explained in the article).
To make the table fit between margins, set the table width to 100%; if
you want it smaller, use a value smaller than 100%.

How can I increase or decrease the size of cells all in sync?
(Make the whole table proportionately larger or smaller?)

I went to the MVP page:

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...ableToPage.htm
and followed these instructions:

In Word 2000 you can select Table + Properties, click on the
"preferred
width" checkbox; where it says "Measure in", change it to "percent",
and in
the width spinbox, type 100%. The relative column widths are
preserved in
the resized table.

But dragging the last cell to the right still only changes the size
of that
particular column of cells.
