Table Pixel Widths/Heights - better in FP 2003 ?

[Bob]

Fixed pixel table questions:

Does FP2003 handle the pixel adjustments on table cell widths better
than FP-XP and previous versions ? I build tables and use on screen
adjustment to rough in the appearance. FP-XP/2000 do some very strange
things with sizing and a table of 590 pixels often ends up with cells
that total over 1000 pixels. Have they fixed this issue ?

Also, does FP2003 still put (those highly annoying) heights on tables
and cells at random times for no apparent reason ? I never use the
height adjustments in FP but I often end up with cells and tables that
"feature" fixed heights (an attribute I almost never need on a table
that really screws up the table's dynamic layout and wastes lost of
time analyzing/repairing).

These two improvements alone might make the upgrade worthwhile.

Thanks,

If you insert a table and then use the mouse to reposition / resize it, FP
including 2003 will always create a height attribute. It has to in order to
hold the dimension you have created.

The trick is to define your table widths using table properties.
