Autowidth and autoheight

The Auto Width and Auto Height facilities make it possible to make columns and rows exactly the right width to contain their largest member. Using this facility allows you to tidy up your table.

To use Auto Width:

  1. Select the column whose width you want to adjust (or individual cells in the column).
  2. Point at the column width marker for the column whose width you want to adjust. The pointer will change into double arrows.
  3. Double-click on the column border.
  4. The column(s) will be resized to the best width according to the widest entry.

The process for setting automatic row height is identical but you should select a row and double-click on its marker. This effectively clears the fixed row height setting attached to a row, so that the row height will alter automatically to track the tallest paragraph in the row.
