To set first column width

You can change the width of the first column in the workflow spreadsheet view, and keep this setting for your entire session. That is, your changes remain after you navigate to other pages and then return to this tab.

Navigate to the Workflow tab of the project.

Use the column width control to resize the first column to your preferred width.

Click the Layout link in the upper right section of the screen.

In the Project Workflow Tab Layout dialog, do the following.

In the First Column Width section, select the Remember Last Setting radio button.

At the bottom of the dialog, check the Make these the default settings for this project's workflow tab box.

Click Apply and Close to save your changes and close the dialog.

The first column width is now set for this project for the remainder of your session. No matter which pages you navigate to, when you navigate back to this workflow tab, the first column width remains as you set it.
