Re: Help with formatting a table

I tried setting the cells to 200 px, but it didn’t work, so I’m either not selecting the right cells or my TeXmacs is broken. Did you select all the cells except the ones in the column and rows on the border of the table (System #)?

The picture below shows how I did.  

Many thanks

Ed

Additionally, the title "System #" on the far left needs to be rotated 90 degrees, and the width of the cells should be increased to accommodate it. How can I make these changes?
