5.Set the size of columns by entering in the Mini-column Percentages. The total must equal 100%. For example, if there will be three columns, the widths may be 33, 33, and 34. A maximum of 14 Mini-columns may be set up per table.
NOTE: The total width of each box answer size and number of characters in each label must not exceed 100 if using a font size of 8. If a font size greater than 8 is used, then the total number of characters and answer widths should be decreased by 5 characters per increase in font size in order to maintain the mini-column within the margins. When adding a mini-column to a 2 column section of the form, the total for the mini columns must still equal 100% in the mini-column layout control. When the controls are entered, the total width of all the columns in 1 row must not exceed 50 characters based on a font size of 8.
