Chiburu 0 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Tables are a permanent thing and it will not go away because there's no option to do anything with it. You can't change the size. You can't align the text. And to make things worse, there's no way to exit the table unless you've preemptively added a new line beneath it. I have heard you need to download some add-on in order to customise the tables, but that's just not how you keep a user happy. I shouldn't have to download an add-on for something already built-in and common in all word processors. Please either convince me to keep using this application or tell me what I'm doing wrong that I should learn with Evernote. Also, can anyone share their experience with these features? If I seriously need to download an add-on, I'm not sure if I'll be sticking around any longer. Why offer a tool that isn't even fully functional? I was forced to redo an entire note because of a non-user-friendly tool. Link to comment

You can align the texts in the individual cells or the entire row/column. I do not have an add on for tables. It was somewhere around 6.x (prior to 6.7 and I think maybe 6.5) table functions got a major overhaul so maybe you are on an older version. Otherwise, please upload a screenshot or a video of what you are seeing. Link to comment

rubikscube 0 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 How to make the tables stable so that I can see the note completely during split screen in Windows 10? As you can see in the following image that I have to use the slider to see the complete note from left to right or vice versa. Link to comment

Nope, same software no matter the subscription level. I think tables went from dynamic view to fixed somewhere around 6.7, though don't hold me to it. Prior to that if one modified columns to fixed widths viewing the table on a different platform would change them to dynamic widths. The "fix" was to go to fixed width columns which I think your are referring to??? An option for fixed or dynamic width columns would have been nice but wasn't in the cards. 1 Link to comment

You are the first person to understand my problem. And exactly, an option for fixed or dynamic width columns would have been great. ☹️ Link to comment

Since most of mine are templates I prefer fixed width tables. Does not work 100% though since tables don't maintain perspective across platforms, that is to say, the text can sometimes wrap on IOS where it doesn't on Windows. Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,004 Posted August 19, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hello, and welcome to the forums. We are mostly other users here, not Evernote staff. Also, you're responding to a two-year-old thread about a completely different problem. It would be more helpful (to you, and to other users who would like to help you) if you would start a new thread, and give as much information about the problem as possible: are you using the Web beta or the earlier version; exactly what steps did you follow; does this happen in all notes, or just one; etc. 1 Link to comment
