You're welcome.

A couple of other thoughts, depending on one's tastes. One could make the
"layout" table two rows, and use the first row as a header row. Also, one
could remove the cell margins in the "layout" table. Word usually adds a
small margin to the left and right sides of a table cell. If the cell margins
of the "layout" table were removed (modified to zero), then the sides of the
table inserted inside the "layout" table would almost invisibly rest next to
the sides of the "layout" table columns.

Your suggestion was brilliant. I made the borders of the mother table
invisible, then inserted the one column rows. It looks fine. Thanks.

Perhaps I could have been more clear.

One could create a 3-column-1-row "layout" table. This "layout" table would
have only three cells. Then one could insert a 1-column-many-rows table in
each cell of the "layout" table. Each column would then expand & contract
independently of the other columns.
