# Bug in MS Word - how to set the width of a nested array


# Problem

When a Carbone tag is long, it can be challenging to set the width of a cell in a nested array. The array may automatically resize, even if the width is fixed in the column options.

# Workaround 1

Since Carbone only uses the font size of the braces `{` and `}` to render data, you can reduce the font size of the Carbone tag structure to ensure the content fits within the cell. Afterward, you can manually adjust the column sizes to achieve your desired layout.

# Workaround 2

Add whitespace to Carbone tags. Carbone removes any whitespace that is not enclosed in quotation marks.
 `{d.mainAction[i].steps[i].desc}` =  `{d.mai nA ct ion[i] .ste  ps[i].de   sc}` 

 .
