Default How do i have differ column widths for each row in a word table?

I need to make a table in word for a fill out by pen form, therefore i need a
15 row table with a different number of columns in each row. I dont want to
really have each row as a seperately made "instert table", but the colums
widths for every row in a big table are linked, can they be unlinked, like
the way each row can have a different number of cells?

Zulto,
..
You can draw the column lines yourself using the drawing pencil, first
button of the table toolbar.
Just create a table of 15 rows and 1 column and draw the columns in each row
with the pencil. Not easy to do but feasable.
If you want to alter the column width afterwards, select a cell and drag its
borders to achieve the width you want. If you want you can use the Alt-key
to drag an exact measurement.
Alternatively you can merge and split cells using the appropriate buttons on
the table toolbar. Once you split your row in the needed columns you can
adjust the width of the columns by selecting and dragging the cell border.
