Why have my tables been squished up in the centre of the page?

[Si Scott]

I used tables in my confluence page to create an Implementation plan.  When I created it, it looked great.  Now however, it appears squished up in the centre of the screen and the table has become elongated.  This makes it very difficult to read.  I've tried maxing the screen and reducing margins but nothing works.  Please help me to restore my tables to the full width of my screen?

I have answered my own question.

I have just this minute resolved the issue.  In edit mode, I clicked into the table, then hovered my cursor to the left of the table.  A transparent blue line appeared and when hovered over directly, it came up with a banner that said, "Resize Layout". I clicked on the line and dragged it across to the left of my screen and this resized my tables back to their original size.  Issue resolved!

Hi @Si Scott 

Have you tried the edit options to fix the issue?

• Open the page in edit mode
• Click the page width icon in the top-right of the table edit toolbar 
• Switch to "Full width" if it's currently on narrow/centered

If the toggle is already on full width, the issue might be that the table itself has a fixed column width set. Click Table Properties → check if a fixed width value is set and clear it.

Thanks Ajay, I've tried these options.
