Frequently Asked Questions

 

The columns in my scale header are all different widths -- how do I fix this?
If you want the scale columns to be the same width, change the text that's in the title of those columns to all have the same width. The width will be based on the width of the text. If you have several-word items, you can put each word on a new line by pressing enter, which will make the column taller, but less wide.

You can also put in fake spaces to make the short words look longer and force them to take up the same amount of space as the long words -- in the "Format" menu, select "Edit HTML in Ekit", in the new window, in the "View" menu, select "Source", and you can put " " before and after your phrase, as many of them as you like -- each " " is a "non-breaking space" (regular spaces disappear in HTML -- it's a "feature" of HTML).

This is primarily a limitation of HTML -- it's not possible to force the columns to be exactly the same width, because the web browser will adjust the column widths to the size of the words. (At some point, we may reduce the probability of this happening by setting each column to have a width, but web browsers do not respect this width when the text is longer that it's set to).
