You can format selected cells to change: •       the alignment of their content (you can override this alignment on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis) •       the space around their content •       column width (this affects all cells in the column, whether selected or not) •       border appearance •       background color.         Note If you apply formatting to selected cells, then apply conflicting formatting to the table as a whole, the table formatting will override the cell formatting. To change the formatting of selected cells: 1       Choose Format > Format Cells. 2       Update the Format Cells form.         Shortcut To change the width of any column, position the cursor over the right border of the column. Drag the column border when the cursor turns into a double-ended arrow.         Tip If you want one column to stay the same size, but allow the other columns to resize with the window, make that column a fixed width and the others a percent.
