But you can tell that a table has AutoFit to Contents turned on,
because then there is no width specified for the table or its columns
(the option clears the "Preferred Width" boxes on the Table and Row
tabs of TableTable Properties).

Very much agreed! I voted for your suggestion.

As it is now, you'd think it was an action that runs once. When it
really is
a mode of a table that stays on/off (for that table).

Klaus

When I select an option "auto-fit" for a table for example
"auto-fit to
contents", I would appreciate the choice to be visible somewhere
at least in
the menu.
