Resizing rows and columns

When you first choose List mode, you see data in rows and columns of
uniform size. To see more data, resize the rows or columns.

To resize rows and columns, move the pointer to the bottom of the row
heading or to the right edge of the column heading you want to resize. The
pointer changes to a double arrow (

or

). (If your pointer looks different,

move the cursor until it’s directly over the row or column border.) Then drag
the pointer to the right or down until the row or column is the size you want.

Multiple fields

Drag the pointer across the
fields. (If the first field in your
selection is a pop-up menu or a
checkbox field, press Option as
you drag.)
