You can edit column display attributes from the main window table header's context menu. When configuring display attributes you are modifying the clicked column.
Most columns can be configured to have specific alignment and crop attributes. Columns can be aligned left, centered or right. If a field does not fit in the current column width it will be cropped. You can choose to crop a field at the left, middle or right.
Note that by default the alignment and crop position are individually set. If you select the Combine Align/Crop Settings menu item, the next time the menu is displayed it will present items which configure both settings at once. Selecting the Separate Align/Crop Settings menu item will restore the separate settings display.
