How can I resize an org-mode table that was created on a desktop machine but is now needed on a laptop with a much smaller screen? The desktop uses a 25-inch monitor, whereas the laptop screen is only 16-inch, so I need to find some way of 'shrinking' the table to fit the smaller screen.
Thanks
Sharon.

With a bit of experimenting you might find some column widths, like <40>, that
work to make it fit, as explained here:

Thanks for replying Bill.
I did try shortening the column widths in the manner that you suggested but it took so long for the table to be displayed, that I gave up, hence me wanting to try some other possible solution.
Thanks
Sharon.
