When drawing cell in the layout view they stretch when I add text,I’ve tried typing the width into the code and this seem to work until I draw another cell then Ultradev removes the width from the code, even when I’ve saved it.
 
You only need to define the width in one cell of each column of the table (usually the top, but take your pick) -- once that's done, then the only thing that will be able to stretch the column is text without a breaking space in it.

From time to time, tables seem to stretch if the screen res is set larger, but you should be able to overcome that by setting an absolute width on the table, as well as the individual cells.

good luck :)
