I love how my post, written mainly to ask for help with this, turned out to be helpful to someone else experiencing the problem! The best kind of irony
To add icing to the cake, your response (Lady Fitz) thanking me for my post actually helped me out in return! I was trying to remove a couple of the columns the other day, and after a right click on the labels didn't do anything I thought it wasn't implemented yet (since that's a staple feature of tabled output). I have now found the setting in the preferences and accomplished my small, but oh so satisfying, goal. So thank YOU, fair Lady Fitz
