How can i auto resize the column according to content

Question

I use this code:

\begin{table}[H]
\caption{Offsets 2}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{*{6}{|c}}
\hline\hline
\rowcolor{orange}
student status  &  location type  & outside region & approved outside area (ha) & delivery agent\\ \hline \hline
Current         &  Restoration    & Northwest john Province & 476.0 & 
If the position ... \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\label{table:nonlin}
\end{table}

But the table is going outside the page. Is there any way that page don't go outside the page and shrink accoring to content and fit on page.

Answer 1

Yes, for example you can chenge

\begin{tabular}{*{6}{|c}}

onto

\begin{tabular}{*{6}{|p{2cm}}}

Of, course 2cm is only an example of width. This gives a paragraph, so entries are never (well, rarely) too long.
