I assume the way you're doing this is to select the entire column, then
going to the Format menu, choosing Column, and from there choosing --
what is it called?  Autofit selection??

If so, then the process is nearly identical:  Select the entire column,
then go to the Format menu, choose Column, and from there choose Optimal
width.  You'll be presented with a dialog in which you can tack on some
extra space should the spirit move you.  Press OK and you'll be set.

Hope this helps!
