This would work if I was putting an image into each cell. However I put a hyperlink with an image into the cells. And when you put a hyperlink with an image it does not just "fill" the cell space. If the image is two wide it widens the cell. If the image is too nerrow it leaves a gap between the image and the right border of the cell.
