Jules,

I am trying to move all the contents from my yahoo group before I
begin inviting the members over to this new setup from the old group.

A disadvantage of what you're doing is that the content at Groups.io is uploaded by, and hence owned by, you - rather than the member who originally contributed it to your Yahoo group. That's not a problem if the content was contributed to that group by you and/or other moderators originally.

The Groups Transfer agent is able to copy all of the content of your Yahoo Group for you, and it will preserve the linkage between the content and the member who uploaded it.
/static/transfer

A disadvantage of having the transfer agent do it is that it copies the memberships first (so that it can establish those linkages) and then the content. Usually this presents no difficulty, but sometimes the transfer takes a little while to complete, and eager members might start posting and uploading immediately, getting new material mixed in with the transferred material.

I think a solution to that is to use the group's Settings page to prevent member contributions until after the transfer of content has completed. That would be:

[_] Announcement Group (in Group Settings)

and then one of the "Only moderators" settings for each of the areas under the Features section.

If you do this you should probably include that in your pre-transfer announcement to your Yahoo Group members, so they understand why there's a brief before the Groups.io posting and features are enabled for them to contribute.

The far left column I am disregarding as it counts the numbers of
rows.

Note that those are not row numbers in the spreadsheet sense. They are an ID (a sequence number or serial number) assigned to the row at its creation - if you delete a row the other rows do not change number. If you sort by a column the numbers sort with the rest of the row content.

However, I need to adjust the 'actual width' of the left column of
questions. Can someone please explain how this is done.

It does not appear that this can be done.

To be specific the column is too narrow and the words don't wrap
around properly for me.

The column content _should_ word wrap. I'm not sure why they don't for you, it may be a browser issue. Or maybe something about the content of cells (pasted non-break spaces instead of ordinary spaces?). In any case, if no one else here in GMF has a suggestion this might be a bug/issue to report to [email protected]. Tell them the name of the group and the table, the browser you use, your OS and anything about how you created the table that might be unusual.

Thanks in advance, and I apologise in advance if this post is in the
wrong place.

This is the perfect place to ask. In this case, since the feature you want does not appear to exist, one place to look is on the Groups.io to-do list:


And, since I don't see a relevant entry in the Database column there, you can make a request for the feature (manual column width adjustment) in the beta@ group:
/g/beta/
