I clicked on your examples, but when I go to my newsgroups, I do not
know how to move the description column over.

Either use a test newsgroup, or post a reply to an existing article which would be sensible in the context of the thread, yet expendable, in case the post failed. The OP's article was neither; and confusing, as well. As if the poster was seeking assistance, rather than posting a test. I suppose so. I sent messages headed "test" so it was obvious I was not asking a question... but so many people are not 'IT aware'.. You, too, have been in the 'business' too long to remember how it is for most people. (more violins somewhere) ??? I have never been in the IT 'business'. Closest I got was as a hardware technician for Hewlett Packard. I did not even learn about TCP/IP until my last couple of years.

Ok, I've got it.. Thanks Bruce
Sometimes this old brain is a little slow. when I clicked on the "Word" description and held my left button on the mouse and moved it to the right, I was able to see all the descriptions open right up. So easy. No wonder Pa bear is such a smart butt. He thinks we all should know that. "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

HTML used for descriptive purposes only.
See the little faint line to the left of Description? Grab it with the cursor and move it. It's the same as adjusting the columns in the message header view, i.e. From | To | Subject | Sent, etc. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Whatfor" wrote in message ...

![]() "Whatfor" wrote in message ... I clicked on your examples, but when I go to my newsgroups, I do not know how to move the description column over. I have tried to do something of that sort for weeks now and I do not know the combination. Alternatively, to set each column to allow the largest value to be fully readable, just press Ctrl-+ (where the + is on the Numeric keypad with NumLock on.) If you don't have a physical numeric keypad you could probably use the on-screen keyboard instead. I haven't actually tried doing that though. Press Win-F1 and search for onscreen keyboard for details and a link which launches that utility.
