About Width Settings in Layout View

Width settings in tables are generally expressed in pixels or in percent of the window size. In Layout view, you can also set the width of a table or column to autostretch; that is, the table will always fill the browser window, no matter what size the window is (Figure 12.54). Autostretch columns are spaced proportionally to preserve your design.

Figure 12.54. Here you see two browser windows both displaying the table at 100 percent width. The center column—which holds another two-column table—is set to autostretch.
