3. Enter the column width in pixels

A pop up menu will now display with the options to enter a new column width in pixels (Default: 120) or to fit to data. To set all the columns to the same width enter the width in pixels.

Note that selecting Fit to data will fit the columns to the data within each column but the column widths will not be the same. To make all columns the same width a value must be entered.

In our example we will enter the value 160 to ensure existing data fits.
