Column width is measured in terms of the number of characters of a fixed pitch font that will fit into the cell’s width. By default, each column’s width is 8.43 units, which equates to 64 pixels.

Before you change the column width, you can select multiple columns so that the width will be the same for all selected columns. To select multiple columns, either drag in the column border or press Ctrl while you click individual columns. To select all columns, click the button where the row and column headers intersect (or press Ctrl+A). You can change the width for the selected columns by using any of the following techniques.

• Drag the right column border with the mouse until the column is the desired width.
• Choose Home?Cells?Format?Column Width and enter a value in the Column Width dialog box.
• Choose Home?Cells?Format?AutoFit Column Width to adjust the width of the selected column so that the widest entry in the column fits. Rather than selecting an entire column, you can just select cells in the column, and the column is adjusted based on the widest entry in your selection.
• Double-click the right border of a column header to set the column width automatically to the widest entry in the column.

To change the default width for all columns, choose Home?Cells?Format?Default Width.

This command displays a dialog box into which you enter the new default column width. All columns that haven’t been previously adjusted take on the new column width.
