--> I'm sorry but I really don't see what you mean. XMLmind XML Editor just formats the tables on *screen*. Unless you use specialized attributes such as colspec/@colwith (see below), XMLmind XML Editor always uses the same algorithm to format tables on screen: make table columns as wide as possible to make it easy editing cells. However, even after doing this, XMLmind XML Editor has absolutely no influence on the PDF generated by FOP or XEP. --> It is very easy to assign a fixed width to table cells. You don't need to change anything in XMLmind XML Editor for that. DocBook example: add colspec elements to your tables and specify a fixed width (e.g. "2.5cm") in the colwidth attribute of a colspec. See http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/colspec.html XHTML and DITA have similar facilities. > And how it looks like with programming XMLmind in Java.

See XMLmind XML Editor - Developer's Guide: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/index.html However if it is a just problem of wide tables in the PDF, there is absolutely no need to change anything in XMLmind XML Editor to fix this problem.
