17.4.53 tblLayout (Table Layout)

This element specifies the algorithm which shall be used to lay out the contents of this table within the document. When a table is displayed in a document, it can either be displayed using a fixed width or autofit layout algorithm (each discussed in the simple type referenced by the val attribute).

If this element is omitted, then the value of this element shall be assumed to be auto.

[Example: Consider a table which must use the fixed width table layout algorithm. This requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tblPr>
<w:tblLayout w:type="fixed"/>
</w:tblPr>

The tblLayout element specifies that the table must use the fixed layout algorithm. end example]

Parent Elements

tblPr (§17.4.60); tblPr (§17.4.59); tblPr (§17.7.6.4); tblPr (§17.7.6.3)

Attributes

Description

type (Table Layout Setting)

Specifies the algorithm which shall be used to lay out the contents of the parent table (see simple type definition for details on each algorithm used).

[Example: Consider a table which must use the AutoFit width table layout algorithm. This requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tblPr>
<w:tblLayout w:type="autofit"/>
</w:tblPr>

The tblLayout element specifies that the table must use the auto layout algorithm. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TblLayoutType simple type (§17.18.87).

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this element’s content model (CT_TblLayoutType) is located in §A.1. end note]

17.4.54 tblLayout (Table Layout Exception)

This element specifies the algorithm which shall be used to lay out the contents of all rows with this table within the table which have the set of table-level property exceptions specified by the parent element. When a table is displayed in a document, it can either be displayed using a fixed width or autofit layout algorithm (each discussed in the simple type referenced by the val attribute).

If this element is omitted, then the value of this element shall be assumed to be auto.

[Example: Consider a table which must use the fixed width table layout algorithm. This requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tblPrEx>
<w:tblLayout w:type="fixed"/>
</w:tblPrEx>

The tblLayout element specifies that the table must use the fixed layout algorithm. end example]

Parent Elements

tblPrEx (§17.4.61); tblPrEx (§17.4.62)
