Matching Column Sizes in Two Tables

Column matching is not available for Crosstabs.

You can match the column widths of one table to the column widths of another table. For example, assume that you have created a freehand table with customized column widths, and you want to match the widths of another table's columns to this table. You can set up an exact match one-to-one column matching, or configure a more customized matching, such as matching the width of multiple columns in one table to a single column in the other.

To match column sizes between two tables, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click the table whose column size you wish to change. Select 'Properties' from the context menu to open the 'Table Properties' dialog box.

2. Select the Advanced tab.

3. In the 'Column Width' panel, select 'Match Column Width'.

4. If the two tables contain the same number of columns, and you wish to perform a one-to-one sequential column match, click the 'Exact Match' button.

5. If the two tables contain different numbers of columns, follow the steps below to perform a custom match:

a. In the 'Column Matching' panel, click to select a column in the left list (Ctrl-click or Shift-click to select multiple columns.)

b. Click (Ctrl-click or Shift-click) to select the column or columns in the right list that should be matched to the selected columns in the left list.

c. Click the 'Match' button.

 

d. Repeat the above steps to match additional sets of columns.

6. Click 'OK' to close the dialog box.
