Spreadsheet objects that are larger than the table columns in which they reside
are scaled to fit in the column.  However, rescaling behavior is nonintuitive
and sometimes inconsistent.  Attached is a Text document which shows some of the
phenomena I have observed.  Due to inconsistency, some of these examples may not
recreate easily, but all should work on a new document (I hope - not all tested).

When creating this document, the only changes I made to settings (other than
turning autocomplete off) was to hit the "Original Size" button (Object menu,
Type tab).  Some of the behaviors seem related to the "Relative" and "Keep
Ratio" checkboxes on the Type tab, but I never saw these boxes checked.  Perhaps
a control for scaling percentage on that page is needed.

In any case, the behavior needs to be consistent.  That is, if objects are being
automatically scaled, they should always attempt to automatically unscale
themselves.  Desireable would be a way to make the table column be the width of
the unscaled object, or as wide as its widest unscaled object for tables with
multiple objects.
