How to create a symmetrical or specified-width table in KompoZer

Inserting tables in KompoZer is as simple as clicking the table icon in the toolbar. However, getting a symmetrical table proved to be a little more complicated. I promised in class that there must be a way to do it and that I would find out; mission accomplished!

The trick is to create your table first, then click inside the top left cell. Right-click and choose Table Cells Properties.

If you want a symmetrical table, click the box next to Width, type the desired width (50 if you have 2 columns, 33 for 3, 25 for 4, etc.) and click the drop-down to choose "%of table." Click Apply. Then click the "Next" button under Cell at the top and do the same thing for the next cell until everything in the top row has been covered. That's it!

For a fixed-width table, do the same thing but type in the pixel width for each top cell and leave the default at "pixels".
