Cool--thanks. I knew it was something simple like that.
Cheers,

Maybe it's being end of a day on a Friday but my already limited math
skills are failing me.
I'm converting CALS tables into InDesign tables where I need to specify
actual measurements. I know the width available to all the proportional
columns and I know the CALS proportional values, e.g. "1*", "1.38*",
etc.
My puzzle is, how do I go from 1.38 to the correct fraction of the
available width?
For example, say that I have two proportional columns of width "1*" and
"1.39*" and the available width is 240pt.
How do I determine fraction of 240 each of these proportions get?
Thanks,
Eliot
