Set columns to either a specific or an automatic width.

  • You can set the column width to Manual and specify the number of characters allowed in a string. Strings over the specified amount are truncated unless word wrapping is selected.
  • You can set the column width to Automatic, which adjusts the width to accommodate the longest string in the column.

  1. In the Table Style dialog box, click the Data Properties tab.
  2. Under Structure, click a Column Width icon to display the selections.
  3. Click either Automatic or Manual.
  4. If you select Manual, enter the number of characters.
  5. Click OK.
