This is not possible, and is exactly what annoys me in the current
implementation.

Moreover, I'm pretty sure you don't review every table in your document
at the second it is opened. So there is no need to store the columns
narrowing, as long as it is easy enough to narrow a table at point when
you need to look at it.

There are multiple solutions to this problem. None of the is optimal,
because "optimal" depends on each user.

I cannot implement any of you suggestions.
