Using AutoFit and Alignment Options

When you create tables, Microsoft Word inserts the number of columns specified but makes all the columns nearly the same width. You can adjust the width of each column automatically using the AutoFit feature. When you choose to AutoFit to Contents, Word automatically adjusts all column width as needed to accommodate the contents within the cell. However, if you choose the AutoFit to Windows option, Word will automatically resize a table for a Web page when you change the window size.

You can choose alignment options for a table in the Table Properties dialog box. Open the Table menu, click Table Properties to open the dialog box, and then choose an alignment in the Alignment section of the Table Tab. The alignment options in this dialog box determine the horizontal alignment of a table. Word left aligns tables by default, but you can select center or right alignment.

1. Position the insertion point anywhere inside the above table.
2. Open the Table menu then choose AutoFit to Contents on the submenu. Word will adjust the width of each column to accommodate the contents within that column.
3. With the insertion point still positioned in the table, open the Table menu and choose Table Properties. If necessary, click the Table tab.
4. Click Center and then click OK. Word will center the table horizontally on the page.
