I have now disabled auto resizing, and it is better than before. It sometimes
still does strange things but nothing I can't live with! - thanks.

When I resize a table column in Word, I drag the border to where I want it
to
go, but then most of the time Word then changes the column width to
something
entirely different - usually it's worse than before I did the resize! Is
this some automatic "helpful" feature that I can turn off? It's driving
me
crazy!
