Like any other drawing shape, Columns have handles that you can click and drag to resize the shape.
To use the shape handles to resize a Column:
- Click the Column shape and move your mouse across one of the shape handles until the cursor changes to a double arrow, as seen below.
- Click and drag your mouse to stretch or shrink the shape using the shape handles.

As you are resizing, notice the Column size changes in the left-hand section of the Status Bar. Use this as a guide to help you resize the Column as needed.
