Making similar tables keep identical column widths and row heights #95

Description

@SCHOUTER

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. When working with multiple tables across different slides that were originally copied from the same source, small unintended changes in column width or row height (e.g., differences as small as 0.03 cm) can occur over time. These inconsistencies become noticeable when scrolling through slides, creating a distracting visual misalignment and reducing the overall quality and professionalism of the presentation.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like a feature that ensures consistent table dimensions across slides. This could include:

  • Best case: A “match table dimensions” tool that allows selecting a reference table and applying its exact formatting (including precise measurements) to other tables
  • A way to lock column widths and row heights so they cannot be accidentally altered
  • An option to synchronize or standardize table dimensions across multiple slides

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, the only workaround is manually adjusting column widths and row heights to match, which is time-consuming and imprecise. Copy-pasting tables helps initially, but does not prevent small deviations during later edits.

Additional context
Even very small differences (fractions of a centimeter) are visually noticeable when navigating between slides. A precision or alignment tool for tables would significantly improve consistency and workflow efficiency.
