Word 2000 in a Nutshell

Name

Table → AutoFit → Distribute Columns Evenly

Synopsis

Create equally spaced columns across the width of a entire table (or any selected columns) with the Table → AutoFit → Distribute Columns Evenly command. Like the Distribute Rows Evenly command, this command does not work well on freehand tables. If not all of columns have an equal number of cells in them, some cells may become wider or narrower than others as Word attempts to make all of the columns equal.

Typing content into cells after issuing the Distribute Columns Evenly command usually increases cell dimensions. You must reissue the command to keep columns evenly spaced.
