FAQ

Will the overall table width change after I distribute column widths?

  1. Distribute Column Widths usually redistributes the selected columns based on the current total table width and the number of columns.
  2. If the total table width stays the same, each selected column is reassigned an equal share of that width.
  3. After the command is applied, review the table placement on the slide to confirm that the layout still fits your page design.

Can I distribute the width of only some columns?

  1. Yes. Select only the columns that you want to adjust.
  2. Then open Table Tools and apply Distribute Column Widths.
  3. Check the selection carefully before you run the command so you do not affect other columns.

How do I manually adjust one column after distributing widths?

  1. Apply Distribute Column Widths first.
  2. Move the pointer to the border of the target column.
  3. Drag the border to fine-tune that column width manually.
  4. For a more precise layout, adjust while reviewing the slide display.
