Abstract
A data processing system is programmed for automatically resizing a table to preserve its original appearance. The table is resized when a cell size changes or when an explicit request from the user is received. The resizing seeks to preserve the relative dimensions of cells in the table as much as possible. The resizing occurs automatically without user intervention. The table may be part of a publication in a desktop publishing system.
