Hello Amol_Singh ,

from your print-screen I see that you are not using a ruler. Try to switch that on. It is easier to adjust the cell/column widths on the ruler.

Also, if you press down CTRL while you are dragging the cell border left or right, it will automatically adjust the bordering column in the opposite way.

These are general tips.

With merged cells, you are stuck in this tedious one-cell-at-a-time work, unfortunately, as the Layout → Cell size can't work with merged cells the same way as with regular table.

Perhaps someone else will chime in with other ideas.

thanks will give it a try.

this document of mine is 64 pages ( its 1 table that cover 64 pages) with similar entries as in the picture.
it is running quite slowly, while i am trying to adjust column sizes rows etc, typing and so on..

is there a way to help speed all the processes up, ( for instance, it is lagging behind when i drag celll borders and do any typing etc)


thanks
