Default Fixed column widths

Is there a way to format a table so that the column widths are a set length
(different for each column). I have set the table to not autofit, but when I
change the width of one column, it affects the width of other columns.

There are several ways to change columns widths, some of which don't affect
adjacent columns. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/TableBasics.htm
(not yet updated for Word 2007, but the principles are the same).
