Adjusting Column Width

The default setting is 15.6667 points. It is possible to change this setting.

The easiest way is to change the default:
Click Format
Click Column Width…

Type in a new value
Remove the check mark next to Standard Width
OK

Adjust the column width until you are satisfied with the setting.

Drag and Drop Method

You can drag with the mouse to change the row height.
Place the cursor in between the field names at the top of the column
A double arrow with a bar will display
Drag to the left to make the column smaller
Drag to the right to make the column larger

Sometimes the drag and drop method is the best one to use. In a table, the data varies.
