How to Create an Autofit Table

Introduction

This article describes how to go from a standard table...

...to a table that can align perfectly with other outputs.

Requirements

One of the following:

• A table that you wish to automatically fit the width of your page.
• A table with rows that you wish to align with the rows of another output on your page.
• A table with columns that you wish to align with the columns of another output on your page.

Method

1. Select Table > Paste or Enter Table.

2. In the object inspector select the table you wish to display by going to Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Output in 'Pages'.

3. Tick Inputs > OUTPUT > Autofit.

4. Tick Inputs > DATA MANIPULATION > Switch rows and columns to reverse the rows and columns of the source table.

5. OPTIONAL: Use the Format tab to adjust font and colors for cells and headers.

6. Drag the Autofit table by its edges until it aligns with the desired output.
