How can you adjust the width of columns in a table?

Adjusting the width of columns in a table can be efficiently achieved by dragging the border of the column. This action allows for precise control over how wide or narrow each column should be, enabling the user to customize the layout according to the content's needs. By clicking on the border between two columns and moving it, you can see the immediate effect of your changes, making it a straightforward and intuitive method for formatting tables.

Other methods, such as changing document margins or altering the entire table size, do not specifically target the width of individual columns and therefore do not provide the same level of customization. Increasing the font size may also indirectly affect the appearance and spacing of the content within a column, but it does not actually change the column width itself. This makes dragging the column border the most effective and direct approach to adjusting column widths in a table.
