It worked fine for me as a keyboard macro, for custom-sizing one or more
columns.
1. Word 2003: Normal view
2. Tools: Macro: Record
3. Table: Insert: OK
4. Put the cursor in column 1.
5. Table: Select: Column
6. Table: Table Properties
7. Preferred Width: 1.5": OK
8. Tools: Macro: Stop Recording

Hello everyone
I was wondering if it is possible to create a table with specified
dimensions in a Word macro.
I would like to create a macro in Word with a table set up for side
headings
(the first column at 1.5 inches). When I record the macro, I can insert
a
table, but I can't seem to size it correctly.
