User Guide

Alternatively, the size of the table can be controlled from the Table Proper-
ties dialog. Select Tables>Properties. Two sizing modes are supported.
(1) Fixed percentage of page width. Using this option, the table width ad-
justs whenever the width of the document changes. This option is useful for
ensuring that the entire content of the table fits in the screen or printed page.
(2) Scale with zoom factor. This option is used to preserve the size and
layout of the table regardless of the size of the document window or the
zoom factor. If the table exceeds the width of the document window, the
horizontal scroll bar can be used to view the rightmost columns. Note: Using
this option, tables may be incomplete when printed.
