Project Columns Wider Than the Standard Width

Have you ever opened up a MS Project File and found the columns to be wider than the standard width? Here are a few scenarios that could be causing the column width to be wider than normal.

1. Your font size is large and driving the row height.

2. The task description is too long to fit in the column width, and word wrap has applied and expanded the row height.

3. You have added text above or below the Gantt bars. This particular issue is hard to find since your Table Entry columns are too wide, yet the change needs to occur in the Gantt Chart. To alleviate the problem, move your text to the left or the right of your Gantt bars.
