Tips While Using

• Common mistake: An inaccurate selection may affect columns you did not intend to change.
• Environment note: Check the selection range before applying the command.

3. Adjust one column manually after distribution

Feature entry: After distributing widths, drag a column border or use another width setting entry

1. Apply Distribute Column Widths first.

Tips While Using
