How can I allow my legend items to spread across the legend width?</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 19:43:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300365#M70293 Brenda_Thompson 2023-06-16T19:43:04Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300390#M70294 <P>It sounds like you might have word wrapping turned on for your labels. If you change the word wrapping values to be larger or turn it off altogether your labels should take up more space.&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="AubriKinghorn_0-1686946874935.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/73530i38BA7D51192735B1/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="AubriKinghorn_0-1686946874935.png" alt="AubriKinghorn_0-1686946874935.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 20:21:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300390#M70294 AubriOtis 2023-06-16T20:21:20Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300393#M70295 <P>Right click the legend. This gives a pop up where you can set various properties. For your case, click Properties to open the Elements pane. In the Legend tab, click Show Properties. One of the options in here is 'Keep in single column'.</P><P>You can also click the second icon (Arrangement) under Legend and adjust properties there. Play around and see what works for you.</P> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 20:32:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300393#M70295 ZenMasterZeke 2023-06-16T20:32:20Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300421#M70300 <P>ugh, word wrapping was the culprit! thank you so much</P> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 22:14:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300421#M70300 Brenda_Thompson 2023-06-16T22:14:02Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-do-i-make-the-legend-columns-wider/m-p/1300422#M70301 <P>the issue turned out to be word wrapping that was turned on, though I will use your advice to continue playing with these settings to get better at formatting.
