Is there sufficient room between the margins for the table to expand and 
accomodate all of the contents of each column on one line?  If not, then 
autofit will not work (It cannot).  Unlike Excel which has no margin bounds 
for autosizing, Word must honor those bounds. It does the right thing by not 
attempting to perform an impossible operation.
