Table text - width factor

Anonymous — Fri, 08 Sep 2017 14:41:40 GMT

I have a text table 5x15. Some of the text width factors vary by cell. I want to change them all at once without clicking each cell individually.

I tried the match cell brush with no luck. I tried using the properties but you can only change height, font, other properties but not width factor.

I have no experience with DIESEL commands or macros but am willing to learn. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your quick response. I am not asking for cell width.

I am asking for the text inside the cells - they have a width factor where it squeezes the characters or expands them a bit by a scaling factor

I need to change this factor for the entire table

Thanks

Width Factor is controlled by the font style. Make sure the font style for all the cells is the same.

If you still have problems, post a drawing with the offending table in it so we can have a look

I had to go through table style and edit each text formatting for Title, Header, and Data types in the Cellstyles

Then it worked

Thank you
