How to change the width of column guide itself?

i'm doing a trifold brochure and set it up that way in layout. the space between the column guides (represented by the thin purple lines) is too narrow. i want to make it wider. i thought that that space was the "gutter" but when i change the gutter from the default to .25" nothing changes in the page. i would expect the thin purple lines to more further apart. am i adjusting the wrong thing or what? thank you!

The guides themselves don't really do anything. They are simply visual cues that you as the designer can use or ignore. To get the actual column gutters to change you need to go into "text frame options". Use Command-B (Mac) or Control-B (PC) or right click to access contextual menus and choose text frame options from a list. Once the dialog pops up, you can change the gutters. If you want the actual gutters and the guides to match, you'll also have to edit the guides. You can do that under the layout menu, "margins and guides."
Hope that helps

How do I change the width of column "rating"

all columns are variable in widht. but not "rating" (stars). How do I change the width of column "rating"?

Hi Emkaha,
By the way the column "last played" can be reduced to a size which display the date "incorrect" as well (you'll see only the first number of the date which wouldn't make any sense too, but it is possible).
True, but if you see date of "1" you will know you are not seeing a full date. If you see 2 stars, it is a valid value, even if it is not correct. At least, that is my supposition about why it is designed the way it is.
Having said that, the extra width in the German version -- the Wertung column is wider than needed for 5 stars -- does seem odd. In the English version for Windows PC, the Rating width is just enough for 5 stars. You can report this to Apple via the iTunes Feedback page.

How to change the width of a column in the web templete

hai
can anyone pl help me to solve the issue
here is the issue
" how to change the width of the column in web templete?" is there any chance to change
thanx in advance

First use the Active Cell property and set the row value to -2 to change an entire column. The attached image shows how to set the background color of column 3 to green. I don't understand your comment about column size. It doesn't matter how wide or narrow a column is. Using the Cell Background Color property, the entire cell is colored. If you are having difficulty keeping track of the number of columns, thats a different issue.

How to change the width of a field?

Hi all,
I would like to decrease the width of a field on my report.
But I can't do it in the Property palette. I am not able to change the width property. The width of the database column is varchar2(255). I do not want to decrease the length of the database column, but only the width property of the field.
Any ideas?
Regards

As far as I knows, you can only increase the width of a
character column. If you wish to decrease it, I would think
you'd have to drop/delete the whole column and recreate it,
loosing all your data in the process (unless you create a
temporary table into which you copy the data first, and then
copy it back into the "new" column - the oracle db will truncate
the data automatically).
SQL Plus is very well suited for the task, but requires you to
write the appropriate SQL statements yourself. Other tools may
simplify this for you (I use SQL Plus myself).
Hope this helps.

How to change the width of PDF report

When i download an interactive report to a PDF. All the columns will have the same width, how to change the width of the column?
Thanks,
Jen

I don't think its possible for downloading from interactive report but let's see if anyone else has got a work around.
The other way to have absolute control over report layout is to create reports using 'Report Query' & 'Report Layout' under 'Shared Components'.

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
It's possible?

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye

How to change the width of a switch control?

If I set long on&off texts, they can't be fully displayed. How to change the width of this sap.m.switch control?
P.S., "width" attribute doesn't work here.

Hi Jocy,
A switch is just a simple boolean control : true/false, yes/no, on/off. Other possibilities are not possible.
If you to need to choose between, say, black/white, then a switch is *not* a good choice; nothing stops you from adding yellow/red/blue to the mix as well.
If you *do* have a strict boolean choice (again, only rue/false, yes/no, on/off) then I would suggest adding a descriptive label with the simple, short switch control.
Otherwise, I would strongly advice using a different type of control (RadioButtonGroup, DropdownBox)

How to change the width of dropdown parameter's in BI Publisher

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to change the width of dropdown parameter's in BI Publisher

Kirk,
In the <rw:graph> tag, just add the standard HTML properties of width="xxx" and height="xxx" to control the width and height of the image. BTW, the graph tag is in the on-line help, although not in the index. You can find it by doing a search for "rw:graph".

Can you programmatically change the width of columns in a table control\indicator

Is it possible to programmatically change the width of columns in a table control\indicator ie to fit to width of the data or in my case the header information.

Create a property node (or reference) and use the 'Active Cell' property to select which column you want to change and then use the 'Cell size'--> 'Width' property to change the size.

Sharepoint 2013 changing the width of columns in a list

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to change the width of columns in a custom list in sharepoint 2013. I have tried to load it in Sharepoint Designer 2010, but it will not allow me. Therefore, I can only use SPD 2013.
Thanks

Hi Jemelia,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the width of a column in a custom list in SharePoint 2013.
Per my test, if we edit the AllItem view of the list in SharePoint Designer 2013, we cannot get the design tab to customize the XSLT of the list and change the width of the column.
I recommend to create a new page, and then add a data view web part of the corresponding list to the page. After that, we can get the design tab to customize the XSLT of the list.
Here are the detailed steps:
In the newly created page with the added data view web part of the list, select the data view web part and then click on “Customize XSLT” > “Customize Entire View” on design tab in the menu.
Search for the fieldname for example in my case “Column” then you will get template like “dvt_headerfield. Column”. In this template there is a attribute name like <xsl:attribute name="style">
in this just add the width size like following.
<xsl:attribute name="style">padding:0 !important;border:0 !important; width: 600px</xsl:attribute>
  3. Search for the template “FieldRef_printTableCell_EcbAllowed.Column”. In this template you will see “<td>” and you can add style to change its width like following.
<td style=" width:300px">
We can also use jquery to change the width of the column in SharePoint 2013:
      1. Create a txt file containing the code below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("TH.ms-vh2:contains('Title')").css("width", "300px"); //You can change the column to be the column you want to change the width, Title in the code for example.
</script>
       2. Upload the txt file to a library in SharePoint.
       3. Add a Content Editor in the page where the list exists, and then edit the web part.
       4. In Content Link, type in the URL of the txt file in SharePoint, like
http://server/site/library/file.txt.
Best regards.
Thanks

How do I keep a table the same size but change the width of columns?

I know this is probably a really stupid question. But after looking online and at the table palette... I still can't figure it out! In Quark, I can "maintain the geometry" of a table by clicking a box. That way, I can change the width or height of rows and columns... without changing the overall size of the table itself. How do I lock down the overall size of a table in InDesign? Thanks...
Julie

@Julie – you can change column width by alt + shift + dragging left or right cell sides without changing the overall size of the table.

How can I change the width of columns in (e.g.) the week view in Thunderbird / Lightning?

As it currently displays, the Lightning display of a week doesn't fit in the window, so I'm forever scrolling left and right. I'd like to reduce the width of columns so that all 6 or 7 days (depending on whether it's a work week or full week) can be displayed within the window's width, without scrolling. There seems to be no standard way to configure this to happen.
I have the calendar pane on the left reduced to its narrowest (I still need this for navigation, so I can't just get rid of it).
I have tried zooming out, but all this does is reduce the height of events etc. within the columns, it does not affect the width of the columns.
Thanks.

While they may auto adjust to what it thinks is a correct width, far too often it allocates way too much room and that causes lists with 4 columns to be much longer than they need to be and without the ability to adjust them, lists look strange.
http://twitpic.com/23ro09/full is an example of the first column having been allocated too much room.

How to change the width of the whole portlet layout?

Dear all,
As we know, now the width of portlet layout has set to 100%. But there is a new requirment from my customer that the width of the whole portlet layout view must be set to 750px.
So I tried to edit the css file and I found a block:
#pt-portal-content-view
     margin-top: 0px;
     width: 100%;
I tried to change the width to 750px, but nothing happened.
I want to know the way to change the width, thank you all!
Regards,
finall
OK,I have found the place to do it:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
I set to 750px,then it works.:-)
But another question, how to make the content align to the center? I tried a stupid method, add margin-left:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
     margin-left: 120px;
In 1024 X 768, it's ok, but it don't work well in 800 X 600.
When I set the all content width to 750px, I tried the three columns view, the portlet still run over the border.If there is any way to control this? thank u in advance!
Regards,
finall
Edited by finall1980 at 02/01/2007 10:09 PM

Try this:
.portalContent {
display: block;
width: 750px;
margin: auto; /* for properly-implemented browsers */
text-align: center; /* for IE 6 */
As for running over the 750px, there's nothing you can do about that other than actually narrowing the columns AND making sure that your portlet authors don't produce content that's too wide.
