A Windows Help file can contain a table to present information in a
consistent manner. Help 3.1 supports "autosized" tables where the
relative widths of the columns remain the same, even as the absolute
size of the table changes. The absolute size is determined by the size
of the Windows Help window.
MORE INFORMATION
To create an autosized table in the RTF file, create a centered table.
Create the text for the table using the minimum possible width for
each column. If the Help window is larger, the columns will be wider
and Help will compute where the text wraps based on the available
width. If the user sizes the Help window smaller than the table's
authored size, Help will display a horizontal scroll bar.
In Word for Windows version 1.1, use the Table command on the Format
menu to create a centered table. In Word for Windows 2.0, create a
table, then choose Row Height from the Table menu and choose the
Center button in the Alignment group.
