Thanx. It's been an even longer time since I did anything with Excel, so I was just trying to use what I kind of knew. Thank you for describing. I just didn't know if there was a recommended way to do it in order to eliminate having to do a lot of clean up. I did go ahead and used the auto fit, and only used 7 columns and it turned out perfect!!! Thanx again!

Hi Lori,Is there any particular reason why you want to create a table in Word instead of Excel? Just wondering because I've come across tables in Word and screen readers seem to have some trouble navigating through them. OK, I don't know what you need, but here is a short explanation for the 3 radio buttons.I'm going to assume that these mean the same as in Excel. Fixed Column Width:In each of the columns, no matter what you put into them, the width of the column remains the same. If the content exceeds the width, it will overlap to the next column. If the column is too wide to fit on the screen, there will be a scroll-bar for the mousers.Auto Fit to Contents:As you may probably guess, the width of each column will depend on what you put into them. They will adjust accordingly. Of course you can also use fixed width, enter your information, and then resize later.Auto Fit to Window: This is similar to the function "Wrap to Window."Not much more I can say about that. If you have 10 columns, they will look a bit small on the screen.HTH Shen *** Original Message: Hi all,It has been a while since I've created a table in Word. I'm a little rusty. I remember that it is Insert A, then arrow down to insert, enter, then select table. I'm fine with selecting the columns and width, but it is when I reach the three radio buttons:Fix column width, Auto fit to contents, , or auto fit to window.That I'm unsure what to do. I'm pretty sure that it isn't the last one. I want to make a 10 by 10 cell table.FYI I'm using Window-Eyes. Lori Shen goalball@xxxxxxxxx -- No virus found in this incoming message.
