SYMPTOMS
When you create a Web page in Word that contains a table, the table is wider when viewed in Internet Explorer 5.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design of Internet Explorer 5 and later. Internet Explorer 5 adds table padding to a table cell's width setting.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you can use the following method.


 * 1) Open your Web page in Word.
 * 2) Click in the table whose width you want to modify.
 * 3) On the Table menu, click Select Table.
 * 4) On the Table menu, click Table Properties.
 * 5) On the Table tab, click to select the Preferred width check box.
 * 6) Enter the width you want in the Preferred width text box.
 * 7) From the Measure in list box, select Inches.
 * 8) Click OK.
 * 9) On the File menu, click Save as Web Page to save the changes.
 * 10) On the File menu, click Web Page Preview.

The table should be the exact width you specified in Word.
