You probably know this behavior from web browsers, such as FireFox or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

You have a table that is 100% the width of a document. As you resized the window in which the document is displayed, the document size changes. The change in width is directly proportional to the width of the window.

Sounds complicated, but it is not. The screenshot that accompanies the tutorial will make things clearer.
