--- Comment #18 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Unfortunately this remains incorrect. Documentation was changed, so now both
named Distribute.

Some functional descriptions:

-- Distribute should hold table at its size, while its elements are resized.

-- Equally Space should cause the table to resize--growing as needed for all
elements to match; could be with or without influence of page margins/page
size.

-- Optimal size should adjust cell elements to fit (by selection: cells, rows,
colummns, full table); with or without influence of page margins/page size.

The margin/page boundary is a limitation now, but could be improved. 

So in reality, there are *six* actions needed to structure tables: to Equally
space, Distribute, assign Optimal width/height. We do just four:

         space     distribute     optimal size
Rows      OK *       missing          OK
Columns   missing       OK            OK

*-with current implementation, Help description for Rows is for
Spacing--not--Distribution, it is mislabeled in Help.

1. current .uno:DistributeRows should be retitled maybe as SpaceRowsEqually.

2. need a new action to Distribute Rows (and hold table size)

3. need a new action to Equally Space Columns (and allow table to grow)
