How do I make all the columns in my table have the same width?

Thx
 
Display the Tables and Borders toolbar, and click the Distribute
Columns Evenly button. Or use the same command on the Table > AutoFit
menu.

Jay,
I think as you type into each column they will spread as to how much
you type into them. Now you have uneven columns???
