ABSTRACT:
A computer system for automatically resizing a table. A table includes various columns. Each column has a column width and an associated width of the longest data in the column. In a preferred embodiment, the system initially resizes the width of each unwrapped column to the width of its longest data. If the sum of the column widths after resizing is greater than the margin width, then the system proportionally decreases the column width of each column so that the sum of the column width is equal to the margin width. If, however, the sum of the column width is less than the margin width, the system proportionally increases the column width of each wrapped column so that the sum of the column widths is equal to the margin width.
