Default Problem with Table Column Not Expanding

As Terry says, when the insertion point is in a table, you should see two
new tabs above the ribbon: Table Tools | Design and Table Tools | Layout.

Nothing changes in the Ribbon when I put the cursor physically in text in
the cell or in text outside of the cell.

Do you mean the menu that appears when I right click?

The Table Tools | Layout contextual tab, which is displayed only when the
insertion point is in a table.

Can you tell me which tab of that damn ribbon I find that under?

Open the Table Properties dialog using the dialog launcher in the Cell
Size
group of Table Tools | Layout or from the right-click context menu in
any
cell.

In Word 2007, I didn't see that option under that Table tab, just
'Automatically Resize...', under the Cell tab, I confirmed that both
the
'Wrap Text' and 'Fit Text' are unchecked. The text is still isn't
displayed.

On the Table tab of Table Properties, make sure text wrapping is set
to
None.

I've got text in a table column that extends beyond the visible edge
of
the column. It appears that Word 2007 is not actually extending the
table as it should but stops right at the page break.
