Autofit Table to Page Margins - Word 2003

[MelanieB]

I need to auto-fit the attached sample table to stay within the page margins. I thought if I selected Auto-fit WIndow that when I adjust the page margins, the table would adjust and re-size to fit within the margins. But, that didn't work.

This is for a co-worker who has several of these tables to work with, and he asked if there is a way to do this instead of manually adjusting the columns and dinking with the table to get it to re-size to fit in the margins.

What's the magic here? I really thought this was supposed to be an easy fix, and now I'm thinking I'm missing something simple.

Thanks!

Once you have selected Table | AutoFit | AutoFit to Window, the table should adjust automatically to the page margins. Make sure that the table is included when you change the page margins.

Ok. Well that's how I thought it should work, and I have done it correctly. There must be something else going on with it. I think at this point, I'll cut/paste to a new document and see if that works. Thanks!
