AutoFitBehavior Method

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

Determines how Microsoft Word resizes a table when the AutoFit feature is used. Word can resize the table based on the content of the table cells or the width of the document window. You can also use this method to turn off AutoFit so that the table size is fixed, regardless of cell contents or window width.

expression.AutoFitBehavior(Behavior)

expression    Required. An expression that returns a Table object.

Behavior   Required WdAutoFitBehavior. How Word resizes the specified table with the AutoFit feature is used.

WdAutoFitBehavior can be one of these WdAutoFitBehavior constants.

wdAutoFitWindow
wdAutoFitFixed

Remarks

Setting the AutoFit behavior to wdAutoFitContent or wdAutoFitWindow sets the AllowAutoFit property to True if it's currently False. Likewise, setting the AutoFit behavior to wdAutoFitFixed sets the AllowAutoFit property to False if it's currently True.
