Setting Table Width with VBA

[Tim Dexter]

Hi
I have a macro that allows users to insert a column into a
table and select the contents for the cells prior to
insertion (the table are only ever 2 rows.)
The insertion and cell filling is fine but when I insert
InsertColumnsRight the width of the table is pushed out
beyond the page.
Is there anyway I can programmatically pull the width back
in and resize the column accordingly. I am not bothered
about the column cells wrapping in an ugly way.
I have tried getting the table width b4 the insertion and
then resetting the width after but the PreferredWidth
method returns 999999?

Any clues

Thanks

Tim
