Change table width when changing width of a column

[Tom Doster]

Is there a way to have the total width of a table adjust as you use the mouse
to adjust the width of one particular column within that table?

If I use the mouse to shrink the width of some column, say the third column
in a five column table, the fourth column widens as the third column narrows.
The whole table stays the same width. Isn't there some key combination that I
can use while dragging the mouse leftward to make the whole right side of the
table shift to the left, rather than expanding the fourth column?

Thanks,
Tom
