some columns don't appear

On my site, when I create a new document library and add new columns. Only
certain columns are displayed. Is there anyway that I can dispalay the new
columns I added. I tried going into the view but it has all items selected
but their not appearing on my site?

Cindy, go to a document library. Click on modify settings and columns on
the left. This will open up the Document Library customization screen. In
the second section, Columns, choose Add a new column.

Add however many colums you'd like.

Now, return to the Document Library customization screen. In the third
section, Views, click on "Create a new view".

From the Create View screen, choose "Standard View"

In the next screen, give your view a name in the "View Name" box.

In the Columns section, the column names have check boxes next to them.
Check the boxes to have the column show in your new view, or uncheck to
exclude them. You can also change the horizontal positioning of the columns
by manipulating the drop down boxes to the right of the column names.

When done, scroll to the bottom and click OK.

You're returned to the Document Library Customization page. Click on the
Green arrow icon at the top of the screen to return to your library.

In the left margin of your library, you'll see three views: All Documents
(the default view), Explorer View and a third one, which is the view you've
just created. Click your view and your new columns will display.

Hope this helps.

I tried this and I do see all the columns when I go back to the list but when
I add the document library as a web part to a site I only get 3 columns:
Type, name and modified by. Why aren't I able to see the columns I added?

Cindy,

In this case, you'll need to change the view of the Webpart to the view
you've created in the document library.

To do this, click the little down arrow on the webpart and choose Modify (or
something to that effect, I'm not in front of my server). You'll then be
able to change the view to the view you've created.
