When you first create a table, all the rows and columns will start the same size. As you add information to the table, you’ll likely find that some rows and columns will need to be bigger than others. You can adjust the size of rows and columns manually, or automatically resize them.
You can also have rows and columns resize automatically to fit the table’s contents.
Click the AutoFit button.
The AutoFit menu has three options:
AutoFit Contents will automatically resize the rows and columns to fit the content in the cells. The table will automatically adjust to new content, resizing the columns and rows as you type.
AutoFit Window will resize the table to fill the available space on the page.
Fixed Column Width will stop the columns and rows from resizing as new content is added if you’ve previously enabled an AutoFit setting.
Select an AutoFit option.
The table’s rows and columns are resized according to the option you selected.
