Resizing tables, columns, and rows

You can resize an entire table or individual rows and columns. If you have trouble resizing, you
can clear the column widths or row heights and start over.
Sometimes the column widths set in the HTML code do not match their apparent widths on the
screen. When this happens, you can make the widths consistent. Table and column widths and
header menus appear in Dreamweaver to help you lay out your tables; you can turn the widths
and menus on and off as necessary.
Resizing a table
You can resize a table by dragging one of its selection handles. Dreamweaver displays the table
width, along with a table header menu, at the top or bottom of the table when the table is selected
or the insertion point is in the table.
Note: You can turn off the table width and table header menu if necessary (see
column widths and menus" on page
When you resize an entire table, all of the cells in the table change size proportionately. If a table's
cells have explicit widths or heights specified, resizing the table changes the visual size of the cells
in the Document window but does not change the specified widths and heights of the cells. To
clear set widths or heights, see

Resizing columns and rows
You can change the width of a column or the height of a row in the Property inspector or by
dragging the borders of the column or row. If you have trouble resizing, you can clear the column
widths or row heights and start over (see
