DRAGGING COLUMN WIDTH

I have tables that when I tried to click and drag to adjust the column widht,
they just won't budge. Even if the table doesn't take up the whole page.
I've even tried using the SHIFT key. I'm using Word 2002 and 2003 and it
happens in both. I am what I consider very comfortable with WORD but this
one has me baffled.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

What about if you use the Table/Properties/Column dialog box? Can you see some
setting there that might be influencing things? Can you change the widths there?

Do these columns contain content, or are they empty?

Doesn't matter if they contain text or not.
I have turned all the settings off in the properties box

that's not what I asked. I asked if you can change the row
height or column width by expressly typing in different
settings in that dialog box.

If you convert the table to text, then the text back to a
table (do NOT use Undo) does that make any difference?
