The "Minimun Column Width" , found in the lettering properties window under the "Column" tab, is the correct tool to be using in this case along with adjusting the "Pull Comp" if it is needed also. Adjusting the "Minimum Column Width" will only affect the "narrow" or skinny portions of the lettering. Pull Comp affects all portions of the lettering, both thin and fat....you can either increase "Pull Comp" by using the pecentage or by adding points to the column. Using percentage does not always give us the look we want even tho the lettering is being adjusted proportionally. It will make the "fat" areas look like they grow in width faster than the skinny areas. Adding "points", allows you to better control the expansion by adding the same width on both sides of the entire lettering columns. Lets say, you add 2 points to your lettering. Using this tool, it will add 2 points to each side of every column thru-out the lettering unless, that is, you are only dealing with one letter in the word or words.....
