Size Columns

You can adjust the width of a property column to view more or less of the data in the column. For instance, if you do not need to view the entire Document ID, you can decrease the width of that column. If a column is not wide enough to view the entire contents, the view of the data is truncated and ends with an ellipsis (...).

Columns can be resized manually by dragging the right column border in the headings row to the desired width. You can also autofit a column using Best Fit, which automatically resizes the width of the column to fit its widest text. You can autofit a single column or all columns at the same time.

You can split the work area into separate horizontal or vertical layouts and resize the columns independently. The column widths in the split layout are preserved during the session.

Note: You can also resize columns in dialog boxes and panes that use a column heading layout.

To size columns using drag-and-drop:

1. In the headings row, point to the right border of the column you want to resize.

   The mouse pointer changes to a horizontal two-headed arrow.

2. Drag the column border left to decrease the column size or right to increase the column size.

To size columns using Best Fit:

1. Right-click the heading for the column you want to size.
2. Choose Best Fit to autofit a single column or Best Fit (all columns) to autofit all columns.

   You can also double-click the right column border in the headings row to autofit a column.
