I created this table by clicking the table icon in the Insert menu and filling in 5 rows, 6 columns, width 400 pixels, height 130 pixels, cellpad 4, cellspace 0, border 2, brder color #FFFFFF. I selected cells I wanted to merge by holding shift and clicking the cells and then clicking the merge cells icon. Then I went to Commands/Format Table and choose the AltRows Sunset Format and choose the appropriate colors and checked the "Apply all attributes to TD tags instead of TR tags." I then typed the numbers in the boxes.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refuted his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

 




Generally it seems helpful to allow autostretch in columns with lots of text. The table can be set to 100% or a large percentage of the screen so as much information is visible as possible on the specific monitor being used. One danger is that text is easier to read in narrower columns rather than columns that are very wide, so it might make more sense to just allow a background color around a graphic to be what increases with wider monitors. There doesn't seem to be any other advantage to letting an image be in an autostretch column as there seems to be no way to allow the size of the image to fluctuate. Maybe the most valuable use would be for a flash element which would benefit from a wider column width.
