Spreading a table

[Michael Brady]

Is there a way to select one of the sides of a column, drag it to the right to widen it (or to the left to make it narrow) and *all* of the columns are reduced by the same proportion. IOW, if I drag the right side of a table to the right and make the table 50% wider, that *all* of the cells are widened by 50%, not just the right column by a whole lot?

Drag this table:

| | | |

and it becomes this

| | | |

NOT this

| | | |

Same with top and bottom edges of rows.


Thanks.

You can do that if you want all the columns (or a contiguous subset of
them) to be equal in width. Drag to right edge; then select the range of
columns and Table > Distribute Columns Evenly. It's two steps rather
than one, but it does the job. Otherwise, no.

if you shift-drag the rightmost column edge, all columns will expand proportionally (to their original widths).

Thanks. I tried the other modifier keys but forgot about that one.
