How do I make column width wide enough to view all levels

I have a large project file that goes to ~30 subtask levels. As a result the
text in the subtask is not visible unless I select the row, then it is
visible in the text line but not in the column with all other tasks. How can
I change the degault width of 128 characters?

View/Table: xxx >>/<More Tables...
Select the table needed (it should be the same one as was shown in xxx),
select Edit.
Change the width as required.

You may also want to consider not indenting the tasks:
Tools/Options/View
Near the bottom is "Outline Options" and you can uncheck "Indent Name"

Thank you for the feedback.
Without indentions, consider inserting the "Outline Level" column so you
don't get lost.

Are you sure the column width is not there?
View/Tables/More Tables.
Select the desired table, click the Edit... button.
A list appears with the names of the columns you wish assigned. For me, the
width is the third column from the left. Here is where I wish we could post
screen shots.
