Hey - these dimensions are only *recommendations*. And my recommendation is
to not use them at all.

If you need the table to be a certain size, then add content that keeps it
that way.

See, if you have a table that is 400px wide, and it contains only two cells,
each of which is only 150px wide, then either lightning is going to shoot
our of your CPU, or the table is going to stretch those cells to fit the
overall width. You just can't work with HTML tables using a print table
mindset.

Furthermore, the dimensions you assign are *minimum* dimensional
recommendations only, which means if your content forces the cell wider, it
will get wider (e.g., you drop a 200px wide image into a 150px wide cell).

So (pardon the mini-rant), what is it you are trying to do?
