Question |
I would like to be able to optimize column widths in
Portfolios but, I would like to have the preference set for actual data
rather than column headings as sometimes the column headings are
substantially larger than the data. |

This capability has been available in the portfolio for
a long time. It was not implemented with an explicit user option in the
portfolio preferences however, like it is in the quotepage preferences.
When you right-click on any column in a portfolio and choose "Optimize
Column Widths" you get the effect of "Size to Show Full Column Title" as
you have discovered. If you want "Size to Show First Word of Title" then
hold down the shift key while making the "Optimize..." menu selection.
Note that you must first right-click (without the shift) to obtain the
popup menu; then hold down the shift key while selecting "Optimize...".
Finally, if you want your columns "Sized to fit the actual data"
regardless of column title width, then hold down the Ctrl-Key while
making the menu selection to "Optimize....". Note that Shift-right-click
or Ctrl-right-click in a column heading are both shortcuts for "Add
Column", that's why you must defer holding down the shift key or Ctrl
key until after you see the popup menu.
