This may be the time to ask the WORD experts. I'm not an expert on microsoft
word and don't know all the details how word determines the column widths of
a table. You need to specify the exact method you are using to copy setions
of the excel spreadsheet and the method you are using to copy more than one
section. Include the ranges of cells in the spreadsheet and the tables you
are using in word. For example are you puting the data into a new table or
existing table. if it is an existing table which cells are you selecting in
the table before you are pasting the data. The more information you include
the easier it is to duplicate the problem and solve the problem.

The Excel spreadsheet has multiple sections with cells of different
width. When I copy these sections individually, everything comes out
fine.
