Good morning, since this issue shows up in multiple posts and I agree with them I would like to add further explanation below.

When performing a take off you want to maximize the plan sheet space you are viewing. Currently if you drag the "grip" to narrow the tool chest display area it slides the comment and label columns with it until they reach their minimum width and then it starts to overlap the subject area leaving your subject area to only +/- 8-12 characters. Then if you go to expand the grip to reveal more characters it first unveils the comment and label columns and by the time the subject column grows in width you've now lost a good section of your entire screen. The two fixes would be 1. ability to hide columns 2. when you drag the grip have it start to cover the label comment columns immediately.

OK, I misunderstood what you were trying to do. I thought the "text box" you referred to was made in BB Revu. But it's the one from the printed document, so what I was saying doesn't apply.

I made a couple of possible samples of something you can edit. I'm sure someone more experienced can make a better (cleaner) solution, but this is one way to solve your problem.

In a typical document, how many of these tables would you have to edit/modify?
