Resizing a Table

Table column widths can be resized to exact measurements using the Table edit mode. Table edit mode puts all tables in the topic into edit mode, but allowing each table to be edited individually.

Column widths are displayed above the table while Table edit mode is on, and are measured in pixels (px).

Note: The Topic's content cannot be edited until Table edit mode is turned off.

To Resize Column Widths:

  1. Open the Topic containing the table, or insert a table into the current Topic
  2. Choose Table edit toggle from the Table Toolbar to put the table into edit mode
  3. Resize the column by dragging the left or right column boundary to the desired width

    Resizing table columns

    • Resize columns while holding down the Shift key and dragging a boundary: this resizes the column to the left of the boundary, while the overall size of the table grows or shrinks based on the changes made to the resized column.
    • Resize columns by dragging a column boundary only: this resizes the columns on either side of the boundary, but the overall size of the table remains the same.
  4. When the table has been resized choose Table edit toggle to close Table edit mode.
