Re-size & Rearrange Columns

You may want to re-size and rearrange the columns in a list so you can more easily see the information that's important to you.

• You can make a column wider if it cuts off the text in the column or narrower if the text doesn't need as much room.

• You can move columns farther to the left if you want to see them, but can't, or to the right if you don't need to see them.

You can re-size and rearrange columns using the Table Display Settings, but it's easier to do both things in the list window itself and then save your changes in the Table Display Settings window..

If at any time you want to restore the display settings to the system default, click the — Reset Display Settings to Default — button in the upper right-hand toolbar.
