Default Auto fit table

I used to be able to copy an Excel table to a word document and click "auto
fit to page" on 2002 Word. Now on the 2003 Word I can't seem to find that
option. Any suggestions?

Linda S,
Still works, right click the table choose AutoFit - AutoFit to page. Or use
the menu Table - AutoFit - AutoFit to Page.

Linda S,
Maybe the option just got deleted or moved. Try this, right click to any
toolbar, choose customize, on the toolbar tab, select menu toolbar, click on
button on your right to return the menu to it's original state, it's the
last one.
If this does not help, come back and we will try something else.

Linda;
If you have Word 2002/2003, like you claim you do, it should be there. On
the toolbar tab you see a list of all the toolbars, one of them (it is
checked by default, and you cannot uncheck it) is aimed at the menu. Don't
know the exact name as I am using the Dutch version here and I am
translating best I can.
Is this the only thing that is missing in your menu's?

It is Menu Bar, and it is just below Mail Merge, which is the last toolbar
that shows in the list unless you scroll it, the first at the top when I
click down to show the bottom half of the list (but I have at least one
add-in toolbar in the list).

I see I got a little mixed up with antecedents there (Menu Bar, not Mail
Merge, is the first in the second half for me, though Mail Merge might well
be for someone without add-ins), but the main point is that you wouldn't see
Menu Bar unless you scroll.

Ok,
I found the menu toolbar and clicked "reset". However, that didn't change
anything. When I click on tables, auto fit I get the following options only:
auto fit to contents, autofit to window, fixed column width, distribute rows
evenly and distribute columns evenly. So far, this is the only thing I see
missing in my program!
Thanks for all the suggestions so far...
