Thankyou, but I'm seeking a little more. This example gives columns of equal width. I need to be able to control width for each col, viz some I want tight fitting, others not. Seems that I can do this if I'm explicit about setting width= per column, but with Latex using "tabular*" I didn't need to set width explicitly for each col. Does this make sense? If so then howto?

2007/4/5, MASON Peter J < Peter_MASON@rta.nsw.gov.au>: 

I'm trying to have my tables extend across the full (\textwidth) of the page. In LaTeX I was using tabular*, specifying a \textwidth for width, and with approp use of  @{\extracolsep\fill}} bu am not having any success. Basically, in ConteXT I want odd columns to act as labels and be tight fitting but even cols to be the values an NOT be tight-fitting, within a page-wide table, ie some tight, some not. As well, I' d like not to be explicitly specifying column width. 

I saw examples using option=stretch somewhere but am not able to get my use of same happening. As well, I' d like not to be explicitly specifying column width. Could a kind person please point me to an example of this usage. 

Thanks.
