- On the Table menu, click Cell Height And Width.

Use this method if you inserted the table and then formatted the
document for newspaper style column formatting.
- Place the insertion point in the table.
- On the Table Menu, click Select Table.
- On the Table Menu, click Cell Height And Width.
- Click the Column tab.
- Change the Width of the columns to a size that will allow the width
of the entire table to fit within the newspaper column.

table.
