If a table’s row height or column width is not distributed equally or evenly, the “Distribute Row Height” and “Distribute Column Width” options can help you distribute all of the row heights and column widths equally when they are not even.
This is useful in cases where the table’s row height or column width is not distributed evenly. These give the table that contains content an appearance that is clean and organized.
