If layout is fixed, column widths will be used to display the table; width is ignored.

If layout is autofit, column widths will not be used; table width is used (as a percentage).

The parameter has a different effect depending on the output format. In HTML, it is the width of the space that the table should occupy. In Word, it is a preferred size and Word may decide not to strictly stick to it. It has no effect on PowerPoint and PDF output.
