as in the image, I want to hide both the whole column of "Point" and only the cell displaying "text wave0". After that I need to resize the table to fit with other charts.

I searched the manual but only find introduction on how to insert table to layout.

anyone can teach me how to do it?

many thanks.
To turn off the point column,

Unselect Point column in the table menu>show>Point column.

You can resize the whole table like any other window. To resize the column width, go to the divider line and drag.

I don't know if you can change the vertical height of the cells without changing the font size which you can do on the table menu. You can change the font size on a column by column basis.

thank you hegedus

resizing is not working as I expected. If I drag the edge of the table in the layout, the width/height of the column/row won't change, but the amount of the column/row will decrease/increase. As shown in the attached pic, column textwave2 is halfway displayed after I drag the right edge of the table.

another Q is how to hide one specific cell like in the pic, I want to hide the cell displaying "textwave0"


many thanks

Assuming you are using a table object and not an embedded table (see the layout documentation for details), you need to set the column width in the table window, not in the table layout object.

You can set "textWave0" to blank by setting the column title for the column to " " (there is a space between the quotes) using the ModifyTable operation or the Modify Columns dialog. For example:
ModifyTable title(textWave0)=" "

thank you very much for the tips, hrodstein,

That fixed my problem. In addition to my previous Q, how to modify the height of the row? and can I type two lines of text/number in one cell?
thx!!

You must change the font size.
