[Solved] I am unable to resize my table

Post by scoostraw »

I have a 1-column table. The table is the default full-width of the page. I want to reduce it in width, but I can't figure out how. When I go into Table Properties > Table, the "Width" option is grayed out. What am I missing?

Are you sure that you have the table selected?

In order to change the width you need to change the alignment first, from "Default" to any other option like Center, From left... For full control, select Manual.
