Removing, oh oops


I just was faced with a table which just contained 3 columns but very
many rows. In second column however was very wide, it contained titled
of journals. So 'cutting' them to half was sufficient to identify them
but allowed me to see the third column. So I say narrowing and hiding
are two useful features. I would not say one can substitute the other.
Hiding is useful if I have very many small columns but narrowing for
very wide columns.


So please do not remove narrowing.
