Changing the Column Size

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Notice the extra spaces to the right in the CustomerFirstName and CustomerLastName columns. The cell size shown on the screen is determined by the column length you specified when you created the Customer table. We can display more columns on the screen if we decrease the column size.

 

To change the column size:

 

1.In the "Data Browser" window, click on the CustomerFirstName column.
2.Choose Layout: Change Cell Size...

 

The "Cell Properties" dialog box appears. You can change the column width and/or the row height. Currently the column width is 200 and the height is 19. We'll change the column width to 150.

 

3.In the "Cell Properties" dialog box, enter "150" in the "Width" field.
4.Click the OK button.

 

The column width for CustomerFirstName is decreased. Now, we'll decrease the width of the CustomerLastName and CustomerState columns.

 

Follow Steps 1 through 4. In Step 3, enter "160" in "Width" for the CustomerLastName column and "45" for the CustomerState column.

 

5.Press the [Home] key to return to the first cell.
