Turn off Automatically Resize to Fit Contents?

Is there any way to set Word 2002 and 2003 up so that tables are created
with "Automatically resize to fit contents" turned OFF?

If not ... is there a shorter way to get it turned off than by going through
the several layers of clicks and windows to get to that check box?

Thank you!

Grace,

You can do it with a macro:

Sub TableInsertTable()
If Dialogs(wdDialogTableInsertTable).Show = -1 Then
If Selection.Tables.Count = 0 Then Selection.MoveUp
Set InsertedTable = Selection.Tables(1)
InsertedTable.AllowAutoFit = False
End If
End Sub

This macro replaces the built-in command to insert a table in Word because
it has the same name as the built-in command. If the user clicks Cancel in
the Insert Table dialog, no other action is taken. This won't catch tables
created with Convert Text To Table.

Regards,
Chad
