Moving, Aligning, and Deleting Bin Columns
You can move, align, and delete columns in a bin.
When you align bin columns, the system maintains the same order of columns from left to right
but spaces them according to the length of their contents. This is useful to remove spaces which
remain after you move or rearrange columns.
When you delete a statistical column it is the same as hiding the column; you can restore the
column at any time by using the Bin Column Selection option. When you delete a custom
column, however, you must re-create the column.
For information to display and hide column headings in the bin, see “Using Text View” on
page 325.
To move a text column in a bin:
1. Click the heading of the column that you want to move.
The column is highlighted.
2. Drag the column to the position you want, and release the mouse button.
A bounding outline of the column guides you as you drag it. The column appears in the new
position, and columns to the right move to make room.
To align bin columns:
t Select Bin > Align to Columns.
To hide or delete a column:
1. Do one of the following to hide a column:
t Click the column heading in a bin, and then select Bin > Hide Column.

2. Do one of the following to delete a column:
t Click the column heading in a bin, and then select Edit > Delete.
t Click the column heading in a bin, and then press the Delete key.

the column to restore it.
