Fixing a column size conflict
A. Size conflict B. Table width in pixel units C. Column width in pixel units D. Column size in percentage units E. Column width in
automatically resized pixel units
To identify table, row, and column sizes
❖ Select a table, row, column, or cell. In the Select tab of the Table & Boxes palette, selected cells appear in bold
outline, and blue lines mark the column and rows shared by the selection.
The width of the active table appears above the table outline between lines spanning the table’s width. The table’s
height appears to the left of the table outline between lines spanning the table’s height. Column sizes appear above
each column, and row sizes appear to the left of each row.
Table property sizes are shown in black, gray, or red characters to signify different value types:
• If the table, column, or row size is shown in gray characters, the size of the property is set to Auto in the Table
Inspector. This means that the size will automatically adjust to the minimum size needed to contain any content
within the row, column, or table.
• If the size is shown in black characters, the size is defined either with pixels (when the value is followed by a “p”)
or a percentage (when the value is followed by a percent sign, %). A row or column size that is set to a percentage
represents a percentage of the table height or width. A table dimension that is set to a percentage represents a
percentage of the browser window.
• If the size is shown in red characters, the actual size of the row, column, or table dimension is larger or smaller than
the displayed value, which is the size set in the Table inspector. For example, if the table width is set to 300 pixels,
but the combined width of the table columns is less or more than 300 pixels, then the value of the table width will
be shown in red.

• To set a table property to automatically resize as needed, select the table, column, or row that has a red pixel value
and set the conflicted property to Auto or Percent in the Table Inspector. (Fix table size conflicts with the Width
or Height properties in the Table tab of the Inspector. Fix row size conflicts with the Height property in the Cell
tab of the Inspector. Fix column size conflicts with the Width property in the Cell tab of the Inspector.)
