Double click the column headers, this will expand the column to hold all the data. 2. Now the data doesn't fit in the window, and has a scroll bar at the bottom. Scroll to the right. 3. Decide which column you are going to make smaller eg Description. 4. Take the bar to the right (between Description and Transfer in this case) and first tow it to the right, then back to the left where you want it to go. I hope someone has a video available on this, because it would be easiest demonstrated, not written out.
