Entity Too Long in Entity Relationship Diagram

J

JeffreyCox

After running the Reverse Engineering tool (which is way cool) in Visio 2003,
some of my Entity's have A LOT of columns, making them really long. Is there
a way to:
Make it show in two columns?
Make it just cut off / truncate?

Thanks in advance!

You can't change the formatting, but you can control the amount of
information that is shown.

From the menu, select Database, then Options, then Document.
Select the Tables tab, and uncheck items that you don't need to see in your
drawing, such as Non-Keys.
You can also switch off the display of Data Types, if they are currently
on, to simplify the drawing.

Hope that helps!
