OK, great.  Thanks for answering.  I don't consider this so much a can of
worms but trying to communicate better so that we can help each other out
better.

I understand about the table that looked "awful."  I see now where I was
having my conceptual problem. When I read things on the computer screen,
whether in Word or on a webpage, I don't think in terms of pages but more in
terms of a fluid window or virtual page which is not fixed in size as a
piece of paper is. So if I were looking at a table and it didn't fit right
in the window, I would typically just resize the window.  However, if your
goal is to produce a print table that looks not awful on a real piece of
paper of a certain size, rather than a virtual one, then of course you have
to know how it is oriented and laid out.

If I were forced to produce tables in Word on a frequent basis, I'd probably
spend the time to understand exactly what the AutoFit and AutoFormat options
do. 

Thanks again,
SusanJ
