Formatting tables

Y

When adjusting the column widths using the mouse cursor,
sometimes the boundary lines move to where you want it to;
sometimes it jumps around and reformats the entire table.

How can I adjust table width without this problem?

Thanks.

It should help to press Alt while dragging to override the grid. Also, make
sure that auto resizing is disabled.

You will be able to gain direct control over your column widths and not have
them keep changing on you.
