Open it in Word :)

The file works in Microsoft Word, but not in Google Docs or Apple Pages. Does this library not support these two platforms? However, if I modify the file in MS Word and then open it in Google Docs or Apple Pages, it displays correctly with correct cell width.

They are not as smart as Word. Word does re-calculate width values for you in the background. So if you re-save with Word then width will be fixed and tables openable in other editors.

There is tonns of issues opened concerning that in the past. e.g. https://github.com/dolanmiu/docx/issues/1947 https://github.com/dolanmiu/docx/issues/2712

To my knowledge such recalculation isn't planned to be as a part of docxjs library due to technical reasons.

To make tables work in every editor you have to set absolute widths.
