Default Reducing column width in a word table

Hi,

I need to allow the user to specify the table column width in the range
of 0.5cm to 0.1cm. When the value goes below 0.4, an exception "Value
out of range" is thrown.

I have appended the code snippet that I use. The exception is thrown
whenever the SetWidth method is called.

TIA
Karthik.

Word.Range rng = wDoc.Range(ref start, ref end);

#region Add the table.
rng.InsertParagraphAfter();
rng.InsertParagraphAfter();
rng.SetRange(rng.End, rng.End);
rng.Tables.Add(wDoc.Paragraphs[2].Range, 1, 8,
ref missingObj, ref missingObj);
// Set variable to point to new table.
