Default Adjust column widths in tables

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I tried both of those and I'm still
having the same problems. When I try to make a column smaller, it actually
gets bigger. Does anyone know what the problem is? It's driving me nuts!

It can be difficult to adjust column width if auto resizing is enabled:
Table Properties | Table | Options and clear the check box or Table |
AutoFit | Fixed Column Width.

I used to have no problems dragging my column boundaries in tables in Word

to
adjust the width of the column. Now the columns are refusing to resize,

when
I click and drag nothing happens, the column stays the same size. Is

there
some option I have inadvertently turned on or off that I don't know about?
