Equalizing Column Width in FP2003

[Dennis Hughes]

I have a table, using FP2003, with 6 rows and 3 columns.

I need 4 cells in one particular row and split a cell to get the 4th
row. When I try to equalize the cell widths in that row, the cell
widths in the other rows also change.

I highlighted the row and used the Table|distribute columns equally
command but it didn't help. It moved the cell sizes a bit, but they are
not close to equal width.

I'm sure there is a way to do this, but can't figure it out.

If working with a single table then all columns widths will match columns
width above and below the current row. When merging columns, the combined
width must equal the width of the number columns below or above that you
merged. Also cells may not appear correct until you have insert content.

There are 2 ways to do this:
1) Merge the 3 cells into a single cell, then insert into this cell a table
with single row, and 4 cells. Easiest method, but display depends on
cellspacing and cellpadding on outer table.

2) Start with a table with 12 columns. Merge groups of 4 cells to produce
3 column rows. Merge groups of 3 cells to produce 4 column rows.

Ron,

Thanks. This works just fine and is logical, once you think about it.
