Name
Table → AutoFit → Fixed Column Width
Synopsis
Normally, cells widen automatically to accommodate new text or content. In many cases, this is an undesirable effect, especially if columns are already sized to meet specific requirements. To keep columns at their current width, no matter how much text is typed into (or removed from) the cells, use Table → AutoFit → Fixed Column Width.
This command does not prevent the manual resizing of columns or the application of AutoFit from the Table AutoFormat dialog box. Any commands that typically result in changes in column width (other than typing into the cells) continue to work on columns to which the Fixed Column Width command has been applied.
