Now you can move the slider to change the table width. The slider position relates directly to the distance between the page margins, as shown below.
NEW FEATURE:
When you release the slider button, the table width will be adjusted immediately without clicking 'OK'.
NOTE: If a table does not start at the left margin of the page (ie it has a left indent), the slider still works, but the maximum slider position will extend the table beyond the right page margin.
Select 'All columns' as the scope. All columns of all selected tables will then be modified when changing the table width.
To select one table, click in a table cell to put the cursor there, or select some or all cells of the table.
You can also select multiple tables in the document.
NOTE: All columns will be adjusted if the table extends beyond the page margins.
Select 'Only selected columns' as the scope. Only selected columns will then be modified when changing the table width.
To select one table column, you can click to put the cursor in the required column, or make any selection in that column.
To select multiple columns, make any selection in the table that contains the columns you want to adjust.
