Have a closer LOOK at your own screenshot. It says that the table cell width is 6'11" inches yet your ruler shows that the column it is trying to fit in is just over one inch.

If you change the section column count to 1 then you might see just how large the table column width is.
Thanks for replying Guessed.

Please forgive me. Rather than dismiss what you said, I just did not understand what you meant or how to do it. This is all above my head. I'm just now getting an inkling of what you meant and it makes sense.

But, how do I "adjust the width of the table to no more than the width of the column"? Where do I do that? Do I do it in Excel or Word?

To keep the page count down, I need to cram the Excel data (it's all text) into 4 columns on the Word page.

Thank you for helping.
