How do I auto resize tables to fit text?

In Word and Excel, double-clicking the lines of a table auto-fits them to the text size. Is there a way to do this in InDesign?

 

Thank you

No, ID lacks an auto-size feature.

Check out this video on YouTube. The script is not yet available, but if it's urgent, get in touch and I'll see what I can do.

Amazing! I'm in no rush, but am definitely interested when it's available.
