Just select Cells and:

 

alert( "Width: " + app.selection[0].width.toFixed(2) + " / Height: "  + app.selection[0].height.toFixed(2) )

You mean via scripting? Which scripting language do you prefer - JS, VBS, AS?

Hi @James3669094303ct,

 

Thanks for sharing the screenshot and reaching out! To find and adjust the width and height of a column or row in a table within Adobe InDesign, follow these steps:

1. Find and View Column Width or Row Height:
   - Select the table or place the cursor in the specific cell whose column or row you want to check.
   - Go to 'Table > Cell Options > Rows and Columns'. The dialog box will display the width and height of the selected column or row.
   - You can also view the width and height directly in the control panel at the top when a column, row, or cell is selected.

2. Adjusting Width and Height:
   - You can manually adjust the width and height by dragging the column or row borders.
   - For precise adjustments, use the 'Width' and 'Height' fields in the control panel or in the 'Rows and Columns' options.

 

Let me know if you need any more assistance or have further questions!

 

Best,
Abhishek Rao
