[GNC] Column widths-- Help!

[Glenn Fowler]

Another option is to adjust directly in the settings:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books\

Stephen in your case just look for and increase the "transfer_width=" in
the register in the settings above. Just make it something like 100 and
then you can readjust by mouse.
