Description wyldfire 2003-07-30 15:42:29 UTC 
It would be great if it was possible to tell OOo to automatically adjust the
column widths of a table based on the content of the table, even as one writes.

There are the styles style:use-optimal-column-width and
style:use-optimal-column-height defined in the dtds/style.mod in CVS, but they
don't seem to be available for tables at all.

Having OOo Writer tables behave as html tables do in a web browser (in terms of 
column width) in real time would indeed be great. It's a feature that is 
present in recent versions of MS Word, and its lack is the only sore point I 
have with OOo.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
