Shrinking And Widening Org Table Columns

Just a quickie today because I’m still recovering from the Thanksgiving festivities. The Irreal bunker sealed the doors and refused to venture outside on Black Friday, a day in which many stores have stupendous sales resulting in unhinged behavior on the part of shoppers. Is Black Friday a thing in the rest of the world? In the U.S. it refers to the day after Thanksgiving—which is, after all, an American holiday—but with the globalization of commerce by Amazon and others, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that others are suffering from it too.

At any rate, James Dyer has a note to himself that others may find useful. It’s possible to shrink and widen Org table columns. Normally, you wouldn’t need to do that, of course, but if the text in one or more columns exceeds the available length you can (temporarily) widen them and then shrink them again.

This is another one of those things that you hardly ever use so it’s really easy to forget how to do it. That’s why Dyer posted the note to himself. Take a look at Dyer’s post. It’s short and it may tell you something you’ll find useful.
