Description Jim Avera 2016-03-05 05:51:32 UTC 
1. Help->Index
2. Search for "tables"
3. Click on "adapting the width by keyboard"

That help page says:

To set the Behavior of rows/columns options for tables in text documents, choose Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Table, or use the Fixed, Fixed/Proportional, and Variable icons on the Table Bar. 

Those options may be set under Tools->Options etc.

However the "Table Bar", which presumably means the Table Toolbar,
does not seem to have any such option.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Start LO writer
2. View->Toolbars->Table (checked)
3. Mouse over all the icons which appear, and view the textual descriptions in the ">>" menu of items which are not visible.

RESULTS: No "Fixed", "Fixed/Proportional" or "Variable" icons are to be found,
or anything that I can find which relates to column-width adjustment.

EXPECTED RESULTS: The icons described in the Help text are present

checked Version: LibreOffice 3.5.0   and I doesn't see these icons on table toolbar. The same in OpenOffice, so I suppose it's mistake in help, changing component to Documentation.
