I want to make it clear when I wrote "column width" I did not mean the values in the pulldown menus, that is I did not mean the text width or column width of the page text. I strictly mean the width of the columns/cells in the table by using the term "column width". Once more, it seems if I set the column/cell width for a table cell/column in the table settings window (Table settings tab, width option), the value set there won't be exactly the cell's width. For example setting 4 cells, each 25% textwidth (from the pulldon menu) gives wider table than 100% textwidth, and the table's right edge hangs out into the margin. I give one more example why I need complete control on table cell width properties. See the attached example file. I have two tables one below the other. The left and right edges of both tables should be on the same line, and the cells should be arranged like: A exactly below a; BC exactly below b+c, DE exactly below d+e, FG exactly below f+g, and HI exactly below h+i. The width of BC should be the same as the total width of b+c, and so forth. Note, that b,d,f,h cells are wider than c,e,g,i cells. (There is text between the tables in the real document, so I can not make one table and play with the borders.) How can I achieve this layout? Thanks, bcsikos
