The procedure for resizing a table depends on the purpose of its use and is performed by different methods in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and HTML applications.
Instructions

Specify an arbitrary cell of the Excel table and open the "Tools" menu of the upper toolbar of the application window (for Excel tables).
Step 2
Click the Design tab and click the Resize Table button in the Properties section (for Excel tables).
Step 3
Specify the desired cell addresses in the "Select a new data range for the table" field and click the OK button to confirm the application of the selected changes (for Excel tables).
Step 4
Point with the mouse cursor to the lower right border of the selected table and wait until the cursor transforms into a double-headed arrow (for Excel tables).
Step 5
Drag the border to the desired location to resize (for Excel tables).
Step 6
Select the columns to be changed in the Word table and open the Table menu in the upper toolbar of the application window (for Word tables).
Step 7
Select the "Table Properties" item and go to the "Column" tab of the properties dialog box that opens (for Word tables).
Step 8
