Hi,
I usually do this by column, but I like your way of selecting the entire
workbook at one time. I just have one question,
will it make all the cells in the worksheet the size of the largest cell in
the worksheet?
or,
does it size each cell in each column by the largest cell in each column?
Thanks in advance,
Chris Chaffin
