Default Word is changing my column widths

Hi ?B?SkRHdWlu?=,

I am using Word 2002 & Excel 2002 for XP Pro.

I have been copying and pasting tables from Excel to Word for a long time.
Today something new happened. When I pasted the table into my Word document,
Word resized at least one of my columns. (It may have resized them all, but
one was dramatically noticeable, approx. three times its previous width.)

It has never done this before. Previously, the columns have always stayed
the same as they were in Excel. Any idea what caused this change, and how to
stop it?

I have no idea what might have changed. The only thing that comes to mind is
that, for some reason, Word may have been pasting in RTF format, before, and
has changed to using HTML by default. If you paste using Edit/Paste Special and
choose RTF does that make any difference?
