if I have a table with 4 column how can I get for example the first
column width of 2cm the second and third of 3cm and the fourth of
4cm?? giving numbers not with mouse??
I tried: rightclick > table... >tab table and i tried both selecting
automatic and left alignment
"Automatic" won't help you: this adjusts the table to fill the space
between the margins, so any change of column width has to be
accompanied by a compensating one to achieve this. Any other option
here should suffice.
rightclick > table... >tab columns inserting values in the column
width spaces but writer also don't honour this because I suspect it
maintain the global length of table
I also selected "adjust column proportionally" but nothing change,
and also selecting "adjust column proportionally" "adapt table
width" is automatically selected
I insert values in column width but writer doesn't obey to this
because change the other
It sounds as if you have tried everything except the precise option
you need - which appears to be having "Adapt table width" ticked but
"Adjust columns proportionally" *not* ticked. Note that the tick
against "Adapt table width" applies for the current operation only:
if you go back to adjust the widths later, you will have to tick that
option again.
and also, how can I add a column without stretching the other??
if I select a column of 1cm width and rightclick >column>insert
choosing 1 column after writer add a column but stretch the other
conserving the global table width, I would like to ADD a column
without touching the others column width
You can do this using the keyboard. First go to Tools | Options... |
OpenOffice.org Writer | Table | Keyboard handling | Behavior of
rows/columns and select Variable. To insert your column, first press
Alt+Insert to activate keyboard handling; then press right-arrow to
insert a column to the right. The cursor will now be in your new
column; press Alt+left-arrow or Alt+right-arrow to change the column
width as desired. You can set the original width of columns inserted
this way at Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org Writer | Table |
Keyboard handling | Insert cell.
I trust this helps.
