Adjusting column width or disable word wrapping

Dear,
I am new at Sharepoint and need your help.
I have a column in a list that is displaying the content like this:
123125D-3423
34343-998373
-378373
Since we correlate the information present in a same row in a sharepoint list, this wrapping is causing some confusion.
Is it possible to disable the word wrapping?

Hi Ricardoaor, easy method: make your column title like this "________________Column Title_____________"
Harder method: use SharePoint Designer to increase the width of the column.

It's just one of the many, many features that have been removed. It all appears to be deliberate, not an oversight. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu.

Adjusting Column Widths Via the CSS in 6.5+

It is pretty easy to adjust column widths in the CSS on 6.5+
One issue that we encountered that was slightly trickier (for non-css folks like me) was ensuring that the columns were set at 100% for the 2 column layouts.
The below code will set the narrow columns on 2/3 column layouts to be 200px wide, and ensure that the wide column maintains 100%
.columnOne               { text-align: left;}
.columnTwo               { text-align: center; }
.columnThree               { text-align: left;width:200; }
.layoutOneColumn               { table-layout: auto; }
.layoutOneColumn .columnOne     { width: 100%; }
.layoutTwoColumnNarrowWide     { table-layout: auto; }
.layoutTwoColumnNarrowWide .columnOne          { }
.layoutTwoColumnNarrowWide .columnOne .portletBody     { }
.layoutTwoColumnNarrowWide .columnTwo .portletBody     { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
.layoutTwoColumnWideNarrow               { table-layout: auto; }
.layoutTwoColumnWideNarrow .columnOne .portletBody     { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
.layoutTwoColumnWideNarrow .columnTwo          {width: 200; }
.layoutTwoColumnWideNarrow .columnTwo .portletBody     { width: 200; }
.layoutThreeColumn                    { table-layout: auto; }
.layoutThreeColumn .columnOne               { }
.layoutThreeColumn .columnOne .portletBody          { }
.layoutThreeColumn .columnTwo .portletBody          { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
.layoutThreeColumn .columnThree               { }
.layoutThreeColumn .columnThree .portletBody          { }
/* Set the invisible image */
#portletColumnFormatter_0 img {width:200px;}
#portletColumnFormatter_1 img{width:100%;}
#portletColumnFormatter_2 img{width:200px;}

I don't understand? I launch PSE 9 from the task bar. This is the screen I get.
I've tried right clicking everything I can think of w/o success.
Once I click "organize", it's too late. The organizer is coming up.
Maybe I don't know for sure what the "Organizer icon" is or where it is? Or, maybe I shouldn't start it from the task bar?

Visual Composer 7.2 SP3 - Adjust column widths of ALV tables by end user

Hello,
we're using ALV tables with values coming out of function modules and queries.
Unfortunately I can't see an opportunity to adjust column widths at runtime by the end user. This is in contrast to VC 7.0 using flex.
Is there a way to archieve this?
Kind regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
This is a feature of Webdynpro Flex runtime. You can adjust column widths at Flex runtime in 720 SP3 also.
This is not supported by Webdynpro HTML runtime.

Applescript/Pages and adjusting column width (and paragraph style)

I was hoping that some someone might know how to adjust the width of individual columns in Pages using Applescript. It seems like it should be a simple task, and I can adjust the overall width/height of the table, but I haven't found a way to adjust the column width. Alternatively, I could have the program create the table in Numbers and copy/paste it into Pages, but I'd imagine that would get a bit messy and wouldn't allow me to use a hanging indent in the cells (to the best of my knowledge).
Also, is there a way to adjust the paragraph style used by the text in the table? Otherwise, I could just use a templet and define the the default table style appropriately. (Though not the most elegant solution).
Thanks in advance for your help!
(In case it helps, the script I'm working on parses an unformatted inventory and parses it into paragraphs/tables.)

Try this:
set tableCount to 0
--open file to be pased here, excluded for example
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    set theDoc to (make new document)
    tell theDoc
        --makes paragraph styles used
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Folio", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, bold:true, alignment:left, space after:5, keep with next paragraph:true, space before:15}
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Place", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, bold:false, alignment:left, line spacing type:relative, line spacing:100}
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Description", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, bold:false, italic:true, alignment:left, line spacing type:relative, line spacing:100}
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Table", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, alignment:left, left indent:0.5, first line indent:0.0}
        --begin repeat, gathers MS info from one doc (unformatted) and writes it into another with formatting, setting variables directly for example
        set MSName to "new Manuscript"
        set MSPlace to "place where MS is stored"
        set MSDesc to "description of MS"
        set tableData to {{"folio", "title", "composer"}, {"", "subtitle", ""}, {"etc", "next", "next"}}
        --write paragraph information from earlier
        set currentPar to (make new paragraph at end of paragraphs with data MSName)
        set paragraph style of currentPar to "Folio"
        set currentPar to (make new paragraph at end of paragraphs with data MSPlace)
        set paragraph style of currentPar to "Place"
        set currentPar to (make new paragraph at end of paragraphs with data MSDesc)
        set paragraph style of currentPar to "Description"
        --create table, add data, and format
        tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
            key code 125 using {command down} -- move the insertion point to the end

Auto adjust column width in multicolumn listbox

Hi
May I know, does multicolumn listbox has a function / control to auto adjust the column width? If not, how can I solve this problem, as user could not view the full data if the width that I set is too small. It would be annoying if the user need to adjust it manually each time they get the data from database....
Any advise??? TQQQQQ......

Hello 222,
I've already seen a few threads about "auto adjust multi-column listbox column width", as far as I can remember, there is not such option in LV 7.1 (I don't know about LV 8).
Meanwhile I think there are option that can allow the user the modify column width at runtime. This plus an horizontal scrollbar should be the alternative... I know it is not "perfect" for the user.
You also have the possibility to do a function that will compare the string length to the column width, and to programatically increase the width if needed.
Personnaly I wouldn't go for this but this is your choice

How to adjust Column width using SHD0 for FB60

Hi,
How can adjust ( i have to reduce the length) Assignment filed in the FB60 transaction using SHD0.
Please help in this regard.
Regards,
Kishore

HI,
I think you can adjust the column width and save it as Screen Variant in the SHD0.
When you create a screen variant for the MIRO, adjust your column width and position than save it the variant. Once you save and activate the variant, it will appear in the Layout dropdown box on MIRO.
OR
Please check in spro with ur functional consultant to explore if the field can be made not mandatory..

How to adjust column width Sheet to Go?

My PlayBook App: Checklists

With the new Playbook 2.0 update and the docs to go app, I found that when in Excel, tap on the column header, (where it has the column identified as A, B, C, etc.), the whole column will be highlighted in blue and you will notice that on one side of the column header is a double line. Simply place finger on the header and slide to desired width. Tap outside of the column to return to the document.

Adjusting column width

Where can I modify the column width for a page? I want to present several regions across columns 1,2, and 3.

Hi,
You can enter style in your query like that :
select row1,
''||row2||'' row2
from dual;
With this style, the row2 will be more wide than the row1.

Site does not dispay column in one line(word wrap) but correctly dispays in IE8.

When I upgraded to FF23, the display on one page will break as follows 
SummaryNewsChartsResearchValue AnalyzerTechnicalInsightEstimatesCompany ProfileFinancialsOptions 
but in IE8 it displays as 
SummaryNewsChartsResearchValueAnalyzerTechnicalInsightEstimatesCompanyProfileFinancialsOptions 
Each word is surrounded by a box, but cut and paste does not include the surrounding boxes. 
In addition, one page does not break a column of data, but overlays it onto the first data column. I use column to mean two separate page data elements of text. When I use the View, Page Style, No Style the page displays the data correctly spaced. I have tried different fonts, but have been unable to correct the display. I have tried disabling plugins but not change.

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Possible bugs when adjusting column width in Query Builder

Good morning,
we use Oracle SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 with included JDK on Windows 7 32 bit.
When we open a sql file, in the Query Builder the criteria columns don't auto-adjust accordingly with the length of text present in the columns.
Also, if we modify or type a new criteria in a column, and immediately after drag the column header to widen the cell, the cell content is erased (if we click first in another cell the problem doesn't occur).
Thanks for reading and best regards.
Marco - Italy

Hi Marco,
Please note that SQL Developer has included a Query Builder from a third-party since the 3.0 release. I will ping the developer that acts as liaison; perhaps you will get a more definitive response. I can only assume any UI bugs would have to be fixed by the third-party company at his request.

Pages and Numbers on iPad 2 crashes when I adjust column width

This is a problem that just started this morning: whenever I select a column or row in either Pages or Numbers the application closes. Any recommendations? I have tried forcing a shut down of Pages and Numbers, and restarting my iPad.

I called Apple support. I forced all apps to quit, uninstalled the app, restarted my iPad and had same problem. I also took my iPad into the store where I got it. They came to the same conclusion: 1) do a back-up to the cloud, 2) delete all settings and data, 3) restore from iCloud--this took several hours to do. Good luck.
I had just updated about 14 apps when the problem started.

Prob with fixed column widths and word wrapping in viewer

i have a report where each record has a very long paragraph of text in it.
In desktop and plus, the text column is at a fixed width and the text just wraps nicely according to the column width.
But in Viewer, the column widths do not stay fixed, the text does not wrap, and the long text is displayed in a single line that completely stretches the column width off the page and requires a horizontal scroll bar.
is there anyway to fix the column width in viewer, have the text naturally wrap, and prevent the column stretching. All word wrapping settings are on, but seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find any solution to this.
Thanks...

Hi Pritam,
Per my understanding that you can't see the vertical scrollbar of the ReportViewer controls 2012 to scroll for the grid rows, but can see the vertical scrollbar of the web application, you also can't fix the headers while scrolling, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce your issue, but you have an alternative way to add some css to the web form's source code to display the vertical scrollbar.
Details information below for your reference:
Please check below properties setting of the reportviewer which control the visibility of the scrollbar:
AsyncRendering="true"
SizeToReportContent="false"
Please check if this problem also occur on other version of IE and other type of browser.
Please check if you have done correct setting of the Fix data to freeze the table header as the step of below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934257(v=sql.100).aspx
If step1 doesn't work, please click the source of webform.aspx and add below CSS to add the vertical scrollbar manually:
#ReportViewer1 {
overflow-y: scroll;
Run the application you will see it display as below:

If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

I want to adjust the column width of "From", "Subject" and "Date". in the AT&T email within Firefox browser

My computer runs under Windows Vista Home Premium, and Firefox browser 3.6.13. Within the Firefox browser, it shows an AT&T email window (www.sbc.yahoo.com). There are several columns such as subject, date, etc. I was able to adjust such column width before. Now I cannot do it. (Also I can adjust column width if I run in the Internet Explorer. I have another computer running Window 7 professional, same set up with Fire Fox and AT&T email, I am able to adjust the column width so I can show the full subject line.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
You can also try to set the pref layout.frames.force_resizability to true on the about:config page.

Datagrid column header word wrap issue

Hi All,
I'm passing dynamic text to a datagrid column header. The word wrap is true but it's not working.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
DataGridColumn headerText="{myVar.text} Total" headerWordWrap="true"
Thanks
Johnny

@Johnny,
Try to make use of the headerRenderer property and use <mx:Text /> control as a renderer so that your headerText gets wrapped..
Thanks,
Bhasker
