Autofit is giving me fits

I am using Tables in Word 2002, and Autofit seems to do exactly the opposite
of what I am asking it to do. When I go to Table + Autofit to Window, the
table runs off the right hand margin. In other words, the columns disappear
off the right side of the page. Sometimes a table that is entrely on the
page will do this AFTER I hit Autofit to page! How do I correct this
problem? Thanks!

Does this happen in a specific document or in all blank documents?

If this happens in all documents created from normal.dot (the blank
document template), you may want to rename it and have Word create a
new one for you. See instructions at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/...ocNotBlank.htm.

For existing documents, see the "How can I fix a corrupt document?"
section in the article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/CorruptDoc.htm.
