Hey everyone, working on a book here. I have recently converted from word (which thought I fought with a lot I was very familiar with) to open office, which is much nicer to use but when it comes to tables I am perplexed.
It seems that if I create a table in word and import it over everything is fine, but if I create a table in open office i cannot adjust the width of individual cells and those cells are huge and I can't seem to figure out how to adjust their size. If my font size is 12 the cells seem to default to a size big enough to comfortably hold size 14 font, so there is a lot of extra unused space. when your trying to make a large and complex table that takes up most of a page this extra space simply makes it impossible. I've looked through the table properties, settings and the help menu, and I can't seem to find a way to adjust cell/text spacing.
can anyone help me?
