Hi Jon, You could use my TableCleaner plugin to change all of the column widths before importing the files into Flare.

When we create tables in this layout, we specify the column widths so that the overall width of the table doesn't exceed the width of the column it is in. This method works fine for the printed manual. However, when we import the Framemaker file into MadCap Flare, the column widths remain the same as the were in FM; unlike the surrounding text, whose margins expand to fit the size of the Help window. This means that the text in the columns appears smashed (horizontally) compared to the surrounding text. Is there a way to configure table column widths in either FrameMaker or Flare so that, when the document is imported into Flare, the table expands to the width of the surrounding text?
