How do I stop my table columns from automatically widening?
I am working in a table that has 6 columns. I have set the width of the
first column (and all subsequent columns) to be what I want. However, as I type a long word into the first column, the column is automatically resizing itself to accommodate the length of that word. How can I stop this from happening? |
