Abstract: A method for enabling selective field expansion in an electronically displayed table is provided. The method includes rendering at least a portion of the electronic table on a display, the electronic table including a plurality of cells, each cell associated with a unique row and column combination, wherein the rendered portion of the electronic table includes a plurality of cells including at least one edge cell containing information; receiving a user input indicating a direction away from the edge cell; in response to the user input, rendering the edge cell with a width wider than a default width to thereby display more information in the wider width than was displayed in the default width; and upon termination of the user input, rendering the edge cell with the default width.
