I have a spreadsheet in which I have set the widths of certain columns
using Autofit. The problem is that I often have to add to the
spreadsheet by importing data from a text file. Every time I do that,
the column width changes to the width of the new data (which is
usually narrower than what I wanted). Is there a way to prevent that
from happening?
Thanks,
Cliff Lewis

Assuming you're using the Data, Import Data command, when you get to the
final "Import Data" dialog there is a "Properties" button (in Excel 2003 at
least). One of those properties is Adjust column width, which you'd want to
uncheck.
