Default Trouble adjusting column widths on Word template

Hi



Just looking for some tips or someone to steer me in the right direction if that is all right.

My accounting software uses word templates for customised invoices and I removed an obsolete column in the template and now it looks weird. I want to make the description column on the left as wide as possible and the ones on the right as narrow as possible but I can't figure out how to do it.

The file is attached.

Thanks,

Your invoice is formatted using a borderless Table. This is probably ideal.

You when manipulating this, you want to turn on display of non-printing formatting characters and table gridlines. When you do, you'll see something like below. You can select columns and move column divisions within the table.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for that. I've done as you suggest but still can't change the width of the column on the far right. Is it because of the logo at the top of the page?
