Abstract
A table is created using keystrokes on a keyboard. Text to the left of a cursor is contained in a first column of the table when the table is created. Text to the right of the cursor is contained in a second column of the table when the table is created. Ghost feedback may be displayed to indicate a new empty row at the bottom of an existing table. When the cursor reaches the border of the first column as the user enters text, the width of the first column is increased while the width of the table is increased. If the width of the table is at a maximum value the widths of other columns in the table are decreased.
