1. A method for resizing columns or rows of a table, comprising: displaying a table comprising multiple rows or columns of cells; receiving a selection input identifying two or more selected rows or columns; receiving a resizing input indicating at least an extent to which the selected rows or columns are to be resized; receiving an algorithm selection input indicating a type of resizing algorithm to be employed in resizing the selected rows or columns, wherein at least two resizing algorithms are available for selection by the algorithm selection input, and include a proportional-type resizing algorithm in which relative sizing between the selected columns or rows is generally maintained and another resizing algorithm available for selection by the algorithm selection input is a uniform-type resizing algorithm that takes an average value from varying column or row sizes to apply to all selected columns or rows to generate a uniform value; and displaying a resized table in which the selected rows or columns are resized based upon the extent indicated by the resizing input and the type of resizing algorithm indicated by the algorithm selection input.
