#Office365Challenge Here’s another “shortest post in the history of blogging”, but WOW – is this a life changer!! Today I’ll show you how to change your column width when working in libraries / lists.

| Tools: | SharePoint Online |
| Description: | SharePoint: Changing the column width in Lists / Libraries |
| Audience: | End User / Power User |
For anyone who knows, changing the width of columns before either lead to changing column titles (character length) or messing around in SharePoint Designer.

Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know. And I’ll try my best, but if I cannot find something good to say about Office 365 and the Tools it includes for 365 days, I’m changing my profession. So let’s write this epic tale of “Around the Office in 365 Days”. My ode to Microsoft Office 365.
Keep in mind that these tips and tricks do not only apply to Office 365 – but where applicable, to the overall Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.
