<?tbspread>
Description
If column widths have been specified in a table, as well as an overall table width, a situation may occur where the total width of the columns and gutters falls short of the overall specified table width. The <?tbspread> command instructs PTC ALD to expand all the columns in the table in proportion to their widths to make up the additional space.
 
This is a final option for specifying column widths, since usually any remaining space will have been take up by columns or gutter that have been given relative widths.
 
Example 429. Expand columns
<?tbspread=1>
The columns in the table will be expanded in proportion to their widths to make up the additional space.
