Auto-fit contents of cell entries in Gift Batch (Row & Height)
Please make the row & column height and width adjustable so that I can see the reference/comments I've entered on gifts. Right now I can only see a few words of what I've typed. I should be able to adjust the cells similar to Excel wrap text function, and have the cell height & width automatically adjust to the information in it.

Please make this possible. So much time and effort spent/wasted resizing columns for each batch.
There are even columns that can't be made narrower, to name a few: Amount, Receipt Amount, Gift Date, Post Date, Constituent...etc. This wastes precious screen space - And I am already decreasing my screen size to 75% of normal view just to be able to work in batch.
Having to scroll to see the columns does not help with the efficiency that batch is supposed to create.
the gift date and post date columns are SOO WIDE they can't be any narrower than this (see photo) the dates will never be that wide, why can't they be the width of the data?
I also agree with the additional comment that we should also be able manually reduce column width, so you can view more columns on screen without having to scroll as far as you do currently.
I would also add that the columns should automatically become smaller when the text does not take up the full allotted width. Right now, I cannot reduce the size of the gift date column, for example, and the date is taking up about half of the column, so I have a lot of white space on the screen, and I have to scroll to see the other columns. In database view I could see all the columns at once without the need to scroll. Eliminating the unnecessary space, by having the columns automatically fit the width of the information - or at least allow me to manually reduce the column width - is a waste of screen real estate.
