Adjusting column widths in a table

You can adjust column width by specifying options in a panel, or by dragging. Use the first approach when you want your measurements to be precise.



Specifying column widths

  1. Click in the column whose width you want to change.

  2. In the action bar, click Properties.

  3. At the top of the pop-up panel, click Size.

  4. In the "Column width" box, type a value for the specified column and press ENTER.

  5. Click in the next column, and repeat Step 6 to change the width of additional column(s).

    Note If you want the table to stay the width of your page, click Span to margin so that a check mark appears.

    Your changes take effect immediately.



Dragging column widths

  1. Position the mouse pointer on the edge of the column until it turns into a double arrow.

  2. Drag the edge until the column is the width you want.

    Note If you want the table to stay the width of your page, click Span to margin so that a check mark appears.
