Format an example table with the option turned off and then create an
AutoText entry from it. Use the AutoText to create tables. This is the
best you can do, unfortunately.

Word 2003 - Is there a way to turn off "automatically resize to fit
contents" as the default setting when creating a new table? I know
how to do
it manually (TABLE / TABLE PROPERTIES / TABLE / OPTION /
AUTOMATICALLY RESIZE
TO FIT CONTENTS), but I would like to permanently turn it off for
new tables.

Thanks.
