column size

I'm having trouble resizing columns.
I need to resize them to get the text on the row to fit.
When I change the column size, the whole table gets bigger and goes
outside my margins.

For example.
1. Create a table with 2 columns and 2 rows.
2. With the mouse, select between the columns and move the left side of
the 2nd column to the right.
3. The table gets wider outside the margins. :-(

I need to resize the columns depending on the font to make things fit.

That brings up another question.
Is there a font I can use that is likely to be portable to Windows?
I don't want to format everything nicely on 2 pages and then have
Windows not have the font I used to it substitutes resulting in 3 pages. :-(
