By default, a table is placed with its top left corner in the spot on the report surface where you drop the entity, the table columns are all the same width, and the table rows are all the same height. The size of the table is based on the width of all the columns and the height of all the rows. You can change the size of the table or the individual columns or rows, and move or delete the entire table.
