Hi :) The first step in each is probably the problem. Try clicking outside the table or into a cell that doesn't border on where you are making the change and then drag the boundary. Regards from Tom :)

I'm not very good at Office software, but still I thought this wouldn't be a problem for me... well, it is :-) In helpful and fast bug-style report: Summary: when changing the column's width in a given ODT document, only one cell is adjusted, not the whole column. Component: Writer Version: LibreOffice v3.5.4.2 (spanish) clean install; Windows 7 SP1 64bit; Steps to reproduce: 1) Download either of these documents: http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/documents/curriculum-vitae/templates-instructions/templates/odt.odt http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/es/documents/curriculum-vitae/templates-instructions/templates/odt.odt (it is the Europass template Curriculum Vitae, english or spanish) Then follow ONE of these paths A or B: A) Right click in any cell of the first column (eg. right click over "Telephone(s)"). > Contextual menu > "Column" > "Width..." > Set some width (eg. some smaller > value). B) Left click above the first column, to select the full column. > Menu "Table" > "Autoadjust" > "Column width..." > Set some width (eg. some > smaller value). Results: Path A changes the width only for the cell in which I click. Path B changes the width only for the first cell of the column. I'm very confused, could someone please point me in the right direction?
