I agree, and if you would rather not worry about doing one column at a time,
you can control A to highlight all, and auto fit the same way and it will
widen all columns to the longest in the column.  This is the simplest in my
mind also.

Subject: Columns in Excel with autofit


> Hi all,
> When using auto fit within Excel, if I select the entire column, it widens
the entire column to the width of the cell with the most information.  I
just tried it again in Excel to re confirm this.  For example, if I was auto
fitting column B, and I was sitting on cell B1.  Lets say cell B5 has the
most information in it.  I select the entire column with control+space bar.
Alt+O for the format menu, arrow down to column, right arrow to the submenu,
arrow down to auto fit, and hit enter.  Excel will widen the entire column
to fit the information in cell B5, which is the cell within that column with
the most information, even though I am sitting in cell B1.
