You would need to learn about alignment codes to get columns to align equally. Here it is dependent on the length of phrases, for example:

        <center><div> 
        {|class="wikitable" border="1"  cellpadding="4"  cellspacing="4"
        | Put
        | text or numbers
        | in.
        |-
        | See
        | longer phrase ''automatically fit'' in
        | columns.
        |}</div></center>

Note: The example, using cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4", made the white space in the borders wider between cells, compared to the original code in the steps above, omitting that added specification.
