Default AutoFit settings from within table styles (Table Grid)

Is it possible to specify AutoFit settings from within the style Table Grid
(which is used to format newly inserted tables)? I see that you can make just
about any table-related setting from within that style, except for settings
such as AutoFit to Window / AutoFit to Contents, etc. I thought the Fit Text
checkbox (under Table Properties|Cell Options) might do it, but that's
greyed-out.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You will have to create an AutoText entry in order to reuse size settings
for tables. For example, to have a table adjust to the width of its
container, you can create an AutoText entry based on a table whose width is
set to 100%.
