Support Solved How to Automatically Adjust Width of Tables on OpenOffice Writer

In Microsoft Word, which my mom has on her computer, you can double-click on one of the column lines to automatically adjust to the exact amount of width the column needs. However, this doesn't with on OpenOffice Writer for me, and I was wondering if it's possible to do and just requires something else.

 

As far as I know, the only way to change the column lines and such is by either right-clicking and going to page and messing with the numbers, or you can highlight some words and right-click then spacing, if that's what you're talking about

 

Yes, I can manually do it by changing the numbers or by left-clicking the column and moving it, but in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and anything else that uses tables, though I think it's just those two, if you double-left-click, it'll automatically adjust to the exact amount of width to keep things on one line.

 

@Mixt?

In Microsoft Word, if you double click the lines between each table column, it'll automatically adjust each column to the exact amount of width it needs--or, in more technical terms, to the largest line of text. However, it seems I can't do that on OpenOffice Writer. Is there a different way of doing that there?

For reference, this line:

I figured this out quite a while ago and figured I'd post the solution.



Obviously, you have to select a table first; otherwise, the option is grayed out.
