Resizing Tables

To better view data in table cells, you can manually resize the table columns and rows, or resize the table cells to fit the contents.

The following Show-Me animations are presented as an animated GIFs in the online help. If you are reading the PDF version of the help and want to see the animated GIFs, access this section in the online help. The interface shown may differ slightly from that in your installed product.

To resize the table, right-click the table header and select one of the following options from the context menu:
