How do I change the size of a table in Word 2000?

How can I get my table columns to fit the text in them without having
to mess around with each column?
A. There are several ways to accomplish this. If using Word 97 or
2000, you can use AutoFormat from the table menu, then select a style
that you like. In Word 2000, you can also use auto-fit by following
the steps below:
-
STEPS:
-
Make sure your cursor is in your table by clicking inside
it.
-
From the Table menu, point to Select and choose table, to
select the table.
-
Click on the table menu, and select Table Properties.
-
Click on the Column tab of the table properties dialogue box.
-
Click on the Column tab of the table properties dialogue box
and "uncheck" the check box for Preferred width and click
OK.
-
Some of my text goes off the page?
A. This type of problem may have many causes. If you are not using
a table, then the usual cause is the indentation is incorrect. Click
in the text where the text goes off the page, then go to the Format
menu and select Paragraph. In the Paragraph box, make sure the left
and right indents are set to zero, and make sure "Special" is set
to none.

After adding a text box, I can not get rid of the border (box)?
A. A textbox is kind of like a graphic. If you want to remove, add,
or change the line around it, you may find it easiest to use the drawing
toolbar. Follow these steps:
-
STEPS:
-
Make sure the drawing toolbar is visible. If you are not sure,
click the View menu and point to Toolbars. If Drawing has
a check by it, you are set. If not, click it to check it.
-
Select the textbox by clicking in it.
-
Click on the arrow just to the right of the tool of the Drawing
toolbar which looks like a fine paint brush (called Line Color)
and select No Line.
-
That should take care of it. By the way, this works the same
for graphics, images, clipart, and other drawing objects.
-
How do I navigate in a Word table, i.e. How do I get to the next line?
A. The proper way to move around a table is to either use the Tab
and Shift+Tab keys, or use the mouse and click. The Enter key will
add another paragraph in the cell you are in and is often unwanted.
REMEMBER UNDO!
