I was creating my first table in Word 2007. I used Insert-Tables-
Tables.

When I typed in text, the column kept expanding and the text did not
wrap until it hit the end of the line and the adjacent cells were
compacted to their margins.

Then I did Table Tools-Auto Fit-Fixed Column Width and the column
width stayed the same and wrapped.

So now I create a new file and the do a table. Now the column width
stayed the same.

Not that I would want the initial behavior of columns expanding---why
does it no longer appear?
