I was just wondering if HubPages has the option, or has given any thought to adding an option, in the table capsule to format column width. I use a lot of tables and have never seen this, but would love to be able to do have that function. Thank you.
Why Glimmer Twin Fan? How long do you write words/sentences? I, also, have used tables and have written in column cells which have used 4-5 'rows' in one cell.
Or you could create a table in Excel, save it as a jpeg, then insert it as a picture. Unless you need to change the data, this would allow you to make the width as narrow or wide as you like.
Just a thought. I've done this before and it allows you to add headers and colors, etc..
Peg
I've thought about doing that Peg, but then I get into the issue of text size and quality on HP. Also if I ever need to go back and change data it adds additional steps. I just think it would be easier if there was that option.
I've been ok with the tables for the 2 years I've been here, just thought I'd throw the idea out there. :-)
But it's a good thought and I appreciate the suggestion.
If you need a quick fix it works, Glimmer. I see where it was suggested 3 years back.
Cheers.

Peg,
It would also be nice of HP to reformat their HubTool so we could have colored text boxes that work on the Left as as well as the right and the same for photos.
All of this brainstorming is giving me a headache.
PegCole and Glimmertwin . . .
As those people in old cartoons would say when they get an idea . . .Hmmmm, I can do that--write a section; turn it into jpeg, a good friend, and use it.
I have suggested to HP many times, we have more of a selection of fonts like a few years ago. In the type styles, we had one that was a Times Roman. I loved that. Then HP removed it.
I also suggested More sizes for photos besides full width, 1 col. and Thumbnail.
All I ever got was "we will consider your suggestions," and that was it.
So I stopped suggesting anything and this "consider your suggestions," just might be a form response they use when they have no intentions of changing.
If you two have a breatk-through, let me know.
And what about multiple-sentences in a capsule? Isn't that what we are doing now? Or am I still stuck in second gear? LOL.
PegCole and GlimmerTwin,
jpeg, why didn't I think of that?
And why cant HP give us more choices for photo sizes?
I suggested these a year ago.
Nothing but "we will consider your suggestions."
So I stopped.
I've never had a problem with columns either. Are you sure your use of a table is best for your material?
Sometimes I'll have a first column with 1, maybe 2 words in each row, then the 2nd and/or 3rd columns have longer descriptors in them. My first column is the same width as the other two.
It would be nice for me if I could make a column narrower, then my following columns would have more room which means they wouldn't have as many "rows" in each cell, making the table longer.
For some of the hubs I write this would be a nice option.

The biggest issue I have with all capsules having to be full width is that there now seems to be no provision for sidebar content. I've had to eliminate several sidebar text capsules because although they have supplementary information that would be useful for the reader, they just can't be fitted...

Can you change the column width of the columns of the table capsule? It seems there is no option for doing that. In my opinion it is a must feature for a table.

I went into one of my older hubs to add a photo and got this message:"It looks like some images in this capsule appear to be reduced in size. Note that saving any changes made to this capsule will update the size of these images to fit the capsule."After adding a new photo, all the...

I have a hub that I inserted a table capsule in. The table capsule goes in with two columns. I added a third column. Ideally the first column would be wider than the rest by about double, and the other two would be equal in width. However when I add the 3rd column, it is twice as wide as the other...

Hi HubPages,For my new hub, http://hubpages.com/hub/LED-Lenser-Flashlights-Coast, I want the tables to each be on their own full column, not slid up under the left column of the module above. For some reason, though, most of them are displaying that way. That looks awkward and necessitates...

I have made a few hubs lately that are two columns with one column being an RSS capsule. I had no problems with this format until about a week ago. Now whenever I try to do this, it leaves a huge ugly gap of white space and places the capsules below the RSS capsule instead of beside it. It looks...
