That's what I was afraid. It's just I had the same problem last week, and a deadline made me settle for the ad hoc approach.
I was trying to solve the same situation several week ago. Finally, I measured what the "fit" option of the first column mean in real units (cm) and I altered widths of remaining columns to get \textwidth in total, which is ugly and non-systematic solution. So it seems that there is a task for natural TABLEs: " Suppose one or more columns have "fit" width, so the width is computed at run-time. Suppose the total width of the table is defined, too. How to specify width of other columns to have a specified ratio? " E.g.: col1.width="fit" -> will be a concrete value at run-time, 'col1.width.real' col2.width="fit" -> will be a concrete value at run-time, 'col2.width.real' TABLE.tot.width=\textwidth col3.width."weight"=1 col4.width."weight"=2 should give col3.width = (TABLE.tot.width - col1.width.real - col2.width.real) / (col3.width."weight" + col4.width."weight") * col3.width."weight" col4.width = (TABLE.tot.width - col1.width.real - col2.width.real) / (col3.width."weight" + col4.width."weight") * col4.width."weight" Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
