When a single table is used on a page it is possible to extend the width of the table to the full width of the page. However, if another element is added to the same page the width of the table is automatically reduced by the page formatting. Is that can be controlled somehow?
Please see the example here:

There was a trick using the CL I’ve seen before using latex textcolor to make invisible characters. I don’t recommend using it due to confusion it will create using screen readers, but this is currently the closest you get to controlling table column width. You’ll also need to use non-breaking spaces (Option+space on Mac) to keep it from wrapping your text.
cellContent(0,2): "`\textcolor{transparent}{wwwwwwwww}`WIDE COLUMN`\textcolor{transparent}{wwwwwwwww}`"
There’s also a point where it becomes too long and a scroll bar will appear for the table.
Thank you Daniel,
Yes, I was familiar with that trick and used it to my advantage before. But the question is how can you control the whole table width? On two different pages, the same table width is different because while Page 1 only has the table but Page 2 also contains a note.
There’s no finer control of table (or other component) widths. I’m sure this is not a new complaint, though I don’t know whether there are solutions being explored or what the priority would be.
Okay, thank you again!
