Adjust to Fixed Column Width

The Adjust to Fixed Column Width feature sets a specific, uniform width for all columns in your selected table(s). Unlike adjusting to content, this ensures every column has the exact same width, providing uniformity for a clean, grid-like appearance and consistency across documents. This tool works in Google Docs™, Google Slides™, and Google Sheets™.


Example Scenario:

Imagine setting all columns in a table to be exactly 140 points wide.

Before Adjustment (varying widths):

After Adjustment (fixed width of 140pt):

All columns are now exactly 140pt wide.
