The Table default setting won't stay set.

Post by VictorParkerPIM »

When I insert a Table it always comes up at 50%, default can be set in table properties which comes up at 100%.
If I insert another Table it has returned back to 50%, the default setting won't stay set.
You can't adjust the width when set to %, and why can't the default be set to something other than 100%?
Is something wrong or am I missing something?

The table width is typically set to "Auto," which means it adjusts to the full width of your current note size. Could you please create a short video demonstrating how you insert a table on your end?

You can try the "Insert Table..." option:

- Autosize: This option inserts a table at 100% size and allows you to resize it.
- Fit window: This option inserts a fixed table at 100% size.
- Custom size: This option inserts a fixed table at any size you set.
Select the "Remember dimensions for new tables" option to save your settings.

When you use your mouse to select the table dimensions to insert, it will use the settings you saved earlier.

Thanks samsam,
What through me was, Insert Table appears to me that it's the name of the drop-down Menu.
I never clicked on it. Maybe it should be named Options or Properties.
What I really wanted was to set auto to 50% and then be able to adjust width if needed.
Auto does not allow to adjust width as it is now.
Custom size works fine.
Maybe Auto and Custom is reversed.
Thanks SamSam you were a great help.
