Description pagalmes.lists 2005-09-22 13:45:37 UTC 
In writer, when trying to edit the width of the different columns of an array,
it is not easy to set to a desired size to each column using the dialog (select
the table, click right -> Table... > columns - column width).

For exemple if you have the following, and want all the columns to have the same
size :

1 - 2,00
2 - 3,00
3 - 2,00
4 - 2,00

So, you want :

1 - 2,25
2 - 2,25
3 - 2,25
4 - 2,25

When modifying the width of the first column, the remaining space will be
affected to the next column. If you try, you will see that getting the same size
is really difficult !

The problem is that you can not tell were (from which column) the space added or
removed should be taken from. A solution would be that under each column a radio
box is added, and by selecting a column you tell to which column the added or
removed space should go to.

A capability to adapt (or not) the table width when changing single column
width. E.G. a checkbox on the Columns-Tab called "don't change other columns"

That would do the trick really well !
