I have very basic excel data which I add to my maps. The method I have utilized normally is by adding the table to my Layout using a Table Frame. While this typically works occasionally there are formatting issues. In the below table you can see that with automatic column spacing the early columns are the width I would like them (Stand, Description) but the formatting of the later columns waste massive space because the title wording doesn't wrap.

If I choose instead to have a custom column width and word wrapping the result is that column with narrow data (Stands, Corr#) end up wastefully wide.

Is there a way to format word wrapping or apply variable widths to columns manually?

 

Thank you.

Individual column properties can be set as described here

perhaps that suits your use case

Thank you so much, as you know I was selecting the Table Frame in the layout and accessing the properties that way, which modified all the columns at once, and didn't realize that there was a totally different way to call up the properties pane field by field. Table looks just the way I wanted it now!
