Hi,
I have developed a desk top based application that create word file.
my code is below:

 Word.Application wrdApp;
        Word._Document wrdDoc;
        Word.Table wrdTable;
        Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
        Object oFalse = false;
<pre> private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {

           wrdApp = new Word.Application();
           wrdApp.Visible = false;
           wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
               ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
          
           Word.Selection wrdSelection;
           Word.MailMerge wrdMailMerge;
           wrdDoc.Select();
           wrdSelection = wrdApp.Selection;
           wrdMailMerge = wrdDoc.MailMerge;

        
           //merge
          // Word._Document oDataDoc;
           int iCount;

           Object oName = "D:\\ddd.doc";
           // Insert a new table with 9 rows and 4 columns.
           
         Word.Table  wrdTable = wrdDoc.Tables.Add(wrdSelection.Range, 9, 4,
               ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
         
           Object oHeader = "'   ','   ','  ','  ' ";
            // Set the column widths.
           wrdTable.Columns[1].SetWidth(300, Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustSameWidth);
           wrdTable.Columns[2].SetWidth(500, Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustSameWidth);
           wrdTable.Columns[3].SetWidth(400, Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustSameWidth);
           wrdTable.Columns[4].SetWidth(100, Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustSameWidth);
	
           wrdDoc.MailMerge.CreateDataSource(ref oName, ref oMissing,
           ref oMissing, ref oHeader, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
           ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

           // Open the file to insert data.
           wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(ref oName, ref oMissing,
           ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
           ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
           ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
           ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

           for (iCount = 1; iCount <= 2; iCount++)
           {
               wrdDoc.Tables[1].Rows.Add(ref oMissing);
           }

           // Fill in the data.
           FillRow(wrdDoc, 2, "I.D. Number          : ", "" + txtReceipt.Text + "", "Date:", "" + dtDatePicker.Text + "");
           FillRow(wrdDoc, 3, "Name of the patient  :", "" + txtPatientName.Text + "", "Age :", "" + txtAge.Text + "");
           FillRow(wrdDoc, 4, "Referred by          :",""+txtRefDocter.Text+"","Sex:",""+txtSex.Text+"");
           
           
           // Save and close the file.
           
           wrdDoc.Save();
           wrdDoc.Close(ref oFalse, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
       }

and

private void FillRow(Word._Document oDoc, int Row, string Text1,string Text2,string Text3,string Text4)
        {
            // Insert the data into the specific cell.
            oDoc.Tables[1].Cell(Row, 1).Range.InsertAfter(Text1);
            oDoc.Tables[1].Cell(Row, 2).Range.InsertAfter(Text2);
            oDoc.Tables[1].Cell(Row, 3).Range.InsertAfter(Text3);
            oDoc.Tables[1].Cell(Row, 4).Range.InsertAfter(Text4);
           // oDoc.Tables[1].Cell(Row, 5).Range.InsertAfter(Text5);
        }

If just table Width, this is what i have did try and error. The final result is I got this.

C#

          wrdApp = new Word.Application();
          wrdApp.Visible = false;
          wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
               ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

          //Range
          Word.Range wrdtableRange = wrdDoc.Paragraphs.Add(ref oMissing).Range;
          wrdtableRange.Tables.Add(wrdtableRange, 9,1, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);  
            
          //Table - It will only get the last table found for this Word.Range
          Word.Table wrdTable = wrdtableRange.Tables[wrdtableRange.Tables.Count];
           
          wrdTable.AutoFitBehavior = Word.WdAutoFitBehavior.wdAutoFitFixed;
          wrdTable.AllowAutoFit = false;
      
//Below are just test values (you can adjust it if you like.)
//The first column width
wrdTable.Columns.Add(accpt_table.Columns[1]).SetWidth(wrdApp.Application.CentimetersToPoints(5f), Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustNone);

//The second column width
wrdTable.Columns.Add(accpt_table.Columns[2]).SetWidth(wrdApp.Application.CentimetersToPoints(2.8f), Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustNone);

//The third column width
wrdTable.Columns.Add(accpt_table.Columns[3]).SetWidth(wrdApp.Application.CentimetersToPoints(3.2f), Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustNone);

//Then set fourth column width            
wrdTable.Columns[4].SetWidth(wrdApp.Application.CentimetersToPoints(4f), Word.WdRulerStyle.wdAdjustNone);

// If you want to see it without opening it just make it to true
wrdApp.Visible = true;
