The Browser window determines the initial column width according to the content of the column for those rows in view: if the initial display of the Browser is 30 rows and there is a character(100) column, but the longest visible content is 25 characters, then the column width is large enough to hold 25 characters. After determining a column width, it does not automatically change. If you scroll down and the column contains a cell with 35 characters, then the column width remains the same size and does not automatically grow.
To resize a single column width:
Do one of the following:
- Move the cursor to the vertical line to the right of the column heading. The cursor becomes a two-way arrow. Click and hold the mouse button. Drag the mouse left to narrow the column width or right to widen the column width. Release the mouse button to set the new width.
- Position the cursor between two column headings and then double-click. The column to the left of the cursor resizes to fit the data in view.
Resizing columns only affects how they display in the Browser window, and does not change their width in the underlying table. Workspaces do not save resizing information.
