Hi @Guru_Koli21

Try the below Invoke Code:

Dim wordApp As Application = New Application()
 
    ' Open the Word document
    Dim wordDoc As Document = wordApp.Documents.Open(wordFilePath)
 
    ' Loop through all tables in the document
    For Each table As Table In wordDoc.Tables
        ' Adjust the width of each column
        For i As Integer = 1 To table.Columns.Count
            Select Case i
                Case 1
                    table.Columns(i).Width = wordApp.CentimetersToPoints(5) ' 3 cm for the first column
                Case 2
                    table.Columns(i).Width = wordApp.CentimetersToPoints(7) ' 5 cm for the second column
                Case Else
                    table.Columns(i).Width = wordApp.CentimetersToPoints(6) ' 4 cm for other columns
            End Select
        Next
    Next
 
    ' Save and close the document
    wordDoc.Save()
    wordDoc.Close()
    wordApp.Quit()

Change the width numbers according to yours if required so that you get the correct width.

@vrdabberu Thank you.

But I am getting error, shown in below screen shot. Is there any namespace issue?

Hi @Guru_Koli21

Did you try importing Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.

If not please do it, make sure you have UiPath.Word.Activities installed.

Namespace Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word is already imported.
