Controlling the Mid/Side channel mixer?

Question

Hi thereI used to make mid-side files manually by duplicating my side channel, panning both and inverting phase. I thought I'd try and make my life easier by using the Stereo >   Mid/Side Channel Mixer. But I can't see how I control the 'width' of my stereo image. I'm not used to Audition so forgive my ignorance, I've used a lot of other DAWs however. In the Multitrack view, I import my stereo channel, with Mid on L and Side on R... previously I'd have controlled stereo width by fading Side, but I can't get my head around how to do this in the Channel Mixer. Anyone? The point of using mid-side for me is that I can have this control after the recording.. if it's just preset I might have to resort back to my manual habits...

Even though you can vary the values, the Channel Mixer preset is pretty much what it says - a preset. There is, however, a free plugin that you can use inline as a VST which has some considerable advantages over just basic width control; Voxengo's MSED, Mid-Side Encoder-Decoder Plugin [VST, AU, AAX] - MSED | Voxengo

If I need to do this (and I do sometimes) it's the one I use!
