    OpenOffice table layout question

    Hi!

    Yesterday i had a problem using the Tables in OpenOffice Writer.

    At Microsoft Word it is possible to insert a table and then drag it as big as i want. When i reached the size i want (in my case the table should fit the whole page) the rows do have the same size each. Resizing has to be done with the right bottom icon, a small square, when the table is marked.

    In OpenOffice Writer this is not possible. First of all there is no such icon, doesn't matter. So i can only drag the lowest line, the bottom border of the table to reach me desired size. And then? The "distribute rows equally" option resizes all rows to match with the biggest, which leads to a multiple page table. I had to play with the heigth value of the rows to reach the full size page table. Is there an easier way ?

      You are right, google is cool, and it is definitly the first source for searching, but i didn't found anything about my problem in it, so i posted it here.

      The links you provided are nice, but i have allready seen them and the do not describe a solution for my problem. Just a generall "How to insert a table".

      So anyone else any ideas?
