Display column widths

I have just upgraded to MS Money Premium 2005, and all went very
well. I have one minor problem, though. I like to open MS Money
in Portfolio view, and grab a quick look at my stock figures.
Unfortunatley the column widths are set such that the last column
(Gain) is crowded off the screen to the right. I'm using a Sony
Trinitron 19 inch monitor, so it seems there should be plenty of
room for a full screen view. The News and Advisory columns seem
to be much wider than they need to be. Is there any way to shrink
these down a bit so the Gain column isn't off the screen? I know,
I can scroll over and view the Gain column, but this is a
problem, and I would like to dispense with it.

Thanks, Gordon

Drag the borders between the column labels using the left mouse
button.

Also, see SeeADifferentView->CustomizeCurrentView->PortfolioColumns
and get rid of columns you do not need. Save As some name. Then
select to use your customized view.

Thanks, Cal, that was what I was looking for. I kept searching
for these left mouse click and drag functions down in the columns
them selves. Between the headers at the top is where I found them
after you told me it could be done.
