Table properties

Post by smajors »

Does anyone know what setting(s) I need to change for this table to make the headings and cells auto fit or fit on one line rather than wrapping to a second line? I've tried looking at the auto fit properties and nothing changes. This is for print output. Or is the table just too large to be able to fit cell text on one line? I can't tell.

Thanks!

Do you have a restriction on the table width? It looks like Flare is just doing it's best to fit within a constraint.

I could be wrong, but I think the table is simply to wide for the width of the page. I ran into this on one document a while back and ended up creating a landscape page layout and assigning it to the pages with wide tables. Worked out well but was an adventure in learning for a couple days. :)

I ended up doing this, thanks for the suggestion!
