Default fix a column width

Hi Becky,

Just a thought:

Older versions of Word (eg Word 2000) were fussy about how small and adjustment one could make to a column's width. I often found I
needed to, say, increase the width by 0.5cm or more before reducing it by 0.6cm if all I wanted to do was to decrease the width by
0.1cm.

Cheers

Thanks macropod but I already have them all set to "zero".

Hi Becky,

On the Table tab, click on the Options button and make sure the left & right cell margins are sufficiently small (eg 0.1cm).

I am creating a table which has 37 columns and the columns must have a fixed
width. The automatically resize to fit contents is unchecked and I have set
the table as fixed column width. Still the column width on the narrower
columns changes from 0.3cm to 0.31 cm. Can anyone help me with this as I am
tearing my Hair out.
