 * I am still learning to use WP (few weeks old). I am using 2×2 Table Block to 
   structure my content. The left column is for headers, the right column for details
   which can run into multiple sentences. There is an option of Fixed Width which
   results in waste of space in the left column while the right column wraps around
   several times. The other option is to have variable width columns in which case
   the width of the left column is only a character wide resulting in excessive 
   wrap around. In both scenarios, the readability suffers. Is there a way I can
   control the width of columns the way we do in MS Excel or MS Word Tables?

 * Hey [@sushilwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushilwp/),
 * Both of these options won’t do much good. I’ll recommend you to use this plugin
   which offers an Excel-like data table which will be perfect for your need: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpdatatables/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpdatatables/)
 * Hope it helps. 🙂
