Also select the Autofit Behavior you want the table to have. You've got several options:
Initial column width. The default setting is Auto, which divides the entire width of your page window across the number of columns in the table. Or, you can specify a different column width.
AutoFit to contents. Resizes the column width based on the width of the content inside the column.
AutoFit to window. Distributes the columns equally across the entire width of the page window.
Set as default for new tables. Check this option if you want the settings to be applied globally to all new tables you create.
When you’re happy with the options you’ve selected, click OK.
