I learned from many projects that the automatic table sizing applied  
by web browsers in most cases does a good job. Sometimes tables are  
used a little bit awkward.

First of all you should try to get version 7.0.6, which is the latest  
version of Webworks Publisher Professional 7.

In general, the browser looks for the cells with the longest line; so  
you can influence the columns widths by entering line breaks.

For a better solution:

* Create a unique table style in FrameMaker and duplicate an existing  
table style in WWP

* Map those two styles

* Add a class attribute to the table tag in WWP

* Create appropriate CSS styles in the document.css (may be a  
different name)

* Be happy
