Problem with Preferred Column widths in Word 2003
I'm importing a number of tables from excel into a Word document. I have written a simple macro that should set the column widths. Sample code: Selection.Columns.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints Selection.Columns.PreferredWidth = CentimetersToPoints(4) When the macro has run, table properties show the column widths to be what I expect - BUT that isn't what the width actually is. (I can run the macro on two different tables and get two different sets of column widths) What seems to be happening is that the overall table width remains constant and the column width setting is acting almost like %. Is there a way to set the absolute column width for each of the columns? - perhaps a table property that I need to set?

You need to set the table width also.
