table.preferred_width = aw.tables.PreferredWidth.from_points(300)

# Set the table's location to a place on the page, such as, in this case, the bottom right corner.
table.relative_vertical_alignment = aw.drawing.VerticalAlignment.BOTTOM
table.relative_horizontal_alignment = aw.drawing.HorizontalAlignment.RIGHT

table = builder.start_table()
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write("Table 2, cell 1")
