The width of a field or an entire column can be controlled precisely by adjusting the "width” property. You can also control the width directly with your cursor in the workspace by selecting the table object and moving the right hand border line of a column. This will affect all table columns, whose separators lie within a +/-2mm interval of the cursor.

 

§ The adjustment will affect only the line on which the cursor is positioned if CTRL is held down.

§ The line will snap to a separator mark if it is within a 10 pixel interval of it. By holding SHIFT, this function is turned off.

§ With the option "Column width modification modifies next column", it is possible to change the width of the column while also changing the width of the next.

§ To change the widths of columns that are currently invisible, deactivate the "Edit only visible cells" option.
