<pre>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)</pre>
