You can adjust the width of a column so that the column is as wide as the longest data value.

Note: By default, columns in List View are wide enough to accommodate the maximum length of the data they contain. Therefore, this procedure is only necessary if you have resized one or more columns to a different width.

To resize a column to fit the data

  1. In a List View, right-click a column label.
  2. Select Column Width > Fit to Data. The column width is resized to fit the data. The change is temporary.  If you go back to the previous List View and then cycle back to this one, you will have to resize the column again.

    There are two ways to resize all columns to fit the data. The first method affects only the current List View. The second method affects all List Views, and is permanent.

Method 1

Method 1: To resize all columns in the current view to fit the data

  1.  In a List View, right-click a column label.
  2. Select All Column Widths > Fit to Heading. All column widths are resized to the width of their data. This change remains in effect only until you change to another view.

Method 2

Method 2: To resize all columns in all views to fit the data

  1. On the Advanced tab, click Options. The Options window opens, displaying the Environment options.
  2. In the Navigation View, click List View.
  3. In the right pane, select the Fit column widths to data values check box. The next time you display a List View, the new setting is applied.
