There is no control for the spacing between columns. But what you are seeing should not be occurring.

Please get us that chart by following these instructions:

Attached are two images:
- Initial.jpg: This is what we see when we open your chartbook. Everything looks fine.
- CloseBarSpacing.jpg: If we bring the bar spacing closer together, you will see that the profiles in Column 2 are starting to "encroach" on the numbers in Column 1, but if you look at the left side of column 1, you will see that the numbers are starting to get cut off there as well. So what this is showing is what we expect to see in this case - that the column itself is shrinking the width and with a constant font size, the numbers will start to get cut off on both the left and right.

Given the above, we really do not know why you are seeing what you are. As your profiles are encroaching on column 1, but it does not look like you are seeing the left side doing the same thing.

We are curious what the screen resolution of your monitor is. We wonder if it could be related to this, and just a particular situation with the bar spacing as it is.

In the end, the only thing we can suggest is to increase the bar spacing so that you are able to view the Column 1 data completely.

the numbers are also "cut off" on the left side in the picture i sent you, so it should be as expected?

It did not appear to be so to us, but if that is the case, then it is just a bar spacing issue.
