Imagine a table with two rows of three cells each. The cells in row 1 need to
be different widths than those in row 2. If the rows are not quite the same
width, there's no way to make them the same width. You can split the rows
into two tables, use Table Properties to set them to the same "preferred"
width, but this does not always set them to an exact width. Frustrating!
