Hello everybody.
Not a major issue, but it bothers me a lot.
Until now, whenever I created a table using the toolbar "insert table"
button, the columns of the table inserted had a fixed width. It had always
been like this.
Now, for some reason, the default setting is autofit (auto resizing) : cells
automatically resize to fit the text entered. And because I do not want
this, everytime I insert a table using this button I then have to change its
properties.
How can I set the default settings to be "Fixed column width" whenever I use
the insert table button ?
Anyone ?
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
Best regards,
Daniel
PS
Sorry about my lousy English.
Hi Daniel,
If you use Table=>Insert=>Table do you get a dialog
box for setting up the table? On the bottom of the
dialog should be a checkbox that lets you make the
next selected table settings your default.

Hello Bob,
Thank you for your message.
Yest indeed I get this checkbox and checked it, to no avail.
As I got fed up with this problem I decided to repair Word, using the
built-in feature, and things seem to be back to normal .
Many thanks again for your kind help.
Brgds,
Daniel
