2) As you resize the label width, the size of your overall OnePager document will be adjusted accordingly.
3) Note There may be an impact on the output formatting for multi-page project views.
Resizing with Multiple Text Columns
4) When you have multiple text columns showing in the project view, you can resize text columns individually by using the procedure specified above.
- a) The right border of the text column is used to resize the width of the text column to its immediate left.
- b) Grabbing the text column's vertical right border and dragging the mouse to the left or right will resize only that text column.
- c) Any text columns to the right of the text column being resized will simply be moved intact to the right to accommodate the resized text column.
5) The following shows how text columns, for example, can be widened to accommodate the text.
- a) Here is a project view where the text column called Finish has insufficient width to display all the dates correctly:

- b) By using the mouse left click on the right most border of the Finish text column and moving to the right we can widen the text column to make room for the entire date as shown below:

Automatic Resizing of Swimlanes Labels and Text Columns
5) You can automatically resize the width of a swimlane label or text column by positioning the cursor on the right border of the swimlane label or text column and double left clicking your mouse when the double arrow cursor symbol appears.
6) Suppose we have a sample project view as shown below where the swimlane label text and text column text are wrapped and you want to resize these columns so that the text fits without changing the text font:
