Need help with Word 2013 Tables!

Feb 14, 2015 2:23AM PST

The table won't expand width-wise to contain my text. It keeps cutting off rows & I've tried minimizing the text. Still cuts. Also tried using "AutoFit". Same. I tried centering (though I'm not 100% sure I did that right).

What am I doing wrong??

Maybe nothing.

I find that sometimes it's just too much to fit and I have to print that table in landscape mode.

There's other oddities that happen if you try to edit on a PC without a printer driver or without a default printer. Word takes hints from the printer to deliver the WYSIWYG so that can confuse folk that haven't run into that issue. Fix? Install a printer and set it to the default for that document.

"I find that sometimes it's just too much to fit..."

That's what I was starting to figure. So irritating though.

Let it wrap in a cell or column?
