Table Formatting

In Word 2003, I often receive tables in which column widths for just
part of the table do not line up exactly with other parts of the
table.  Trying to drag the column borders so they match up perfectly
is almost impossible.  One way around this problem is to convert the
table to text and then the text back to a table, but then I have to
readjust all the column widths to what they were previously.  Is there
an easier way to format tables?

One approach is to use the old Table | Cell Height and Width dialog
(applying a column width to the entire table, not just specific rows); see
