Changing default full-column table width in Word 2007
Whenever I insert a new table, its width extends beyond the edge of the
column -- apparently lining up the text edges in the cells with the column edge, not the actual table width. Is there some way to change this default? I can move the table borders so they line up with the column edges, but I'd rather not do so every dang time. Running Word 07 under Vista. -- Greg |

Changing default full-column table width in Word 2007
Not satisfactory for a table with borders, which is what's under discussion.

It's as close to what is wanted as you can get.

Changing default full-column table width in Word 2007
What I have done to fix "oversize" tables is change the table width to, say,
98%. If I had to do it often, I would make a macro to change all of the full-width tables in a document to that percentage. But I only have a couple customers a year who insist that table be wholly inside the margins. PamC Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: It's as close to what is wanted as you can get.

Changing default full-column table width in Word 2007
Thanks for the try, anyway.
(I thought it would be an option because the usual definition of "margin" is that everything is inside it. I guess nobody uses tables with left/right borders.)
