I would like to create tables with a fixed row height (don't want two lines in one cell), and a column width that depends on the length of the text in every column, or actually that depends on the longest text in every column. So far I haven't figured out a way to do it, but going in to every table and manual adjust the column width by sliding the column separator in and out. Since I have about 200 pages full of tables it gets kind of tedious doing this over and over. There has to be a way/script/plug-in/trick/something.... Help? Please?

I appreciate any help or hint,
Petra
