Hi,

My description column has more than 200 characters. How to widen this column to make it nice look?

Thank you for your assistance.

    @Annie Tang

    Whether the "Description" column is a multiple lines of text column?

    1.Edit page -> Add a script editor web part -> Add below codes into the script editor web part.

    <style>  
    .ms-vh-div[DisplayName='Description']  
    {  
    width : 3000px !important;  
    }  
    </style>  
    

    2.Edit page -> Add a content editor web part -> Add below codes in the txt file into the content editor web part.
    95130-code.txt

    3.Result.

    Hi Emily,

    Thanks for your response. I apologized I just saw your response today. I checked back my Gmail box I couldn't find your email there.

    Your script totally worked on my list. I don't see the 'Accept Answer' button here. If could, would you re-post the button then I'm going to accept it. Thank you again.

    v/r,
    Annie Tang
