Sizing tables is another science on it's own, and requires good understanding of the underlaying tags, also the TABLE can be sized up and the TD also, but most importandly, no matter how perfect you size it, the ultimate factor is what goes in it, the table will always grow to accomodate the content within, there's no way to avoid that, so you are left with 2 alternatives, you place the table inside an IFRAME set to show scrollers if the content is bigger, or you dynamically check the content and crop it as necessary.
That's why manual tagging is important, it gives you the understanding you need to make those pixel perfect websites.

Yep. I couldn't agree more. I use DW to get the tables, code, etc, "started" and then tweak it from there.
In DW there are 2 words for that: Code View.

To be honest I don't see a question?
If tables don't look right when you WYSIWYGing on DW, then have a look at the HTML and adjust it manually.
