hi, i have a layout table with 3 columns and 3 rows. the
table size is 800 pixels. i am trying to change it to 760.
the three columns have sizes of 109, 571, and 120. i
cannot figure out how to just change the size of the whole
table. (I want the 571 part to become 531 instead).
Everytime i try to change a cell size everything gets all
out of wack and it wont let me change some cell sizes that
are 800 pixels wide. Or, it changes the cell size, but
then I am left with a spacer. All i want to do is change
the table size to 760 and the middle cell to 531.

Can someone please tell me the easiest way to go about
this..
 
Should be easy enough. Change the cell size first, then
the table size. Fi you have merged cells, you'll have to
do the math on those.

Or, you could try changing the cell sizes to percentages,
resize the table and then change the cell sizes back to
pixels.
 
Turn off the table layout tool, then adjust the table and cell sizes, either
by dragging the table/cell borders or directly in cell properties (select
whole columns, not individual cells) or change the HTML in code view (my
preference).
Finally, turn the layout tool back on.

I have not tried this with cell/border shadow effects or rounded corners,
etc. but suspect things will not work correctly.
