Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to automatically distribute the spaces 
between columns "evenly" across the table from one side to the other. 
Actually the width of the spaces between columns are even and fixed already. 
What I want is that this space is stretched.

Because I have a table covering the horizontal space from one side of the 
page to the other. Inside this table there are three columns. But at the 
right hand side of the last column there is empty space. What I want to do 
is that there is even space between the 1-2 and 2-3 columns so that I 
eliminate the space at the RHS of column 3 and distribute it between the 1st 
and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd columns.

How can I do this?

By the way I use ctable.
If my question is not clear I will make an example but please resist asking 
for it cause I am restricted by the time.

(Note that the question is not adjusting the column space but adjusting the 
space between the columns.)

Ok  I figured out that putting "@{\extracolsep{\fill}" between the column 
indicators does the job. But I still have a problem. There is for some 
reason more empty space at the RHS of the last column than at the LHS of the 
first column. Why would this be the case?
