Is there a way to save the width settings on the columns once you resize
them in the assigned source window?  I have to continuously widen them
every time I open the source window so that I can see the source detail
or I have to click edit to see it.  I couldn't find anything in Help
about it.  I would like to be able to see them stay the same way so that
I don't have to resize it every time I open the source window
