Can I change the width of columns in checking inventories?

Question

I am going through the mixed-capitalisation inventory for a project with many hyphenated place names in the book of Joshua. Most of these names are breaking on to two lines in the inventory column. Is it possible for me to change the width of these columns? I think it would help the translators to interpret the results.

Answer 1

Unfortunately it is not possible to adjust the column widths. You can zoom in (CTRL+- or Ctrl scroll) to make the words a little smaller, but that may not be helpful.

I suggest that you use the Paratext > Give Feedback feature to make a feature request. With current development it might not happen in Paratext 9.x, but might make it into Paratext 10.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, you can't change the column sizes. It definitely seems wrong that the first column on that checking inventory is that small. I've brought this problem up for internal review.
