WOW! You're right! There's about 7 hours of posts missing from the MS
Newsgroup Website. Your posts were in that batch. They DID, however, show up
on the server, which many of us are directly connected to using programs
such as Outlook Express. I see you are using the Website, so I can
understand you repeating the question. My apologies, and feel free to repeat
the other questions. We'll copy the responses.
So, here was my reply to your question about the column widths:
"You could do that in an automated fashion it if you created a Word table
object or an Excel (table) object. But with the standard PowerPoint Table
object, you have to adjust each column width manually."
Let us know if you need more help.
