Size
Here you can change the Width of the selected cells by choosing among the
following options:
Fixed
When you select this option you can specify the width exactly by entering the
desired value in the field to the right of the Width list.
Percent
When you select this option you can specify the width you want as a percentage
of the overall table width.
By default, the cells in a table are of equal width, and the width is set to 100%
divided by the number of cells in a row. For example, each cell in a table of
three columns has a default width of 33.3%. If you wanted the first column to
be twice as wide as the other two columns you would set the widths of all the
cells in this column to “50” and the widths of all the cells in the second and
third column to “25”.
Auto
When you select this option, TextMaker automatically determines an appropriate
width. In this case, the cell widths will be automatically distributed over the
space available.
Any of these three options can be applied in any combination within the same
table. Thus, you can set up, for example, tables where the cells in the first column
have a fixed width, while those in the remaining columns have widths set to
“Auto”. If you set up such a table and subsequently increased the width of the first
column, the widths of the remaining columns would automatically decrease proportionally.
Tip: Cell widths can also be changed with the mouse. To do this, drag the right
border of a cell left or right with your mouse. If you have not selected any cells,
the width of all the cells in the current column is changed. If you have selected
some cells, only the width of the selected cells is changed.
Vertical alignment
This setting determines how the content of cells will be aligned with respect to the
top and bottom edges of the cell.
