- In this worksheet called "Column Widths,"…some of the columns are too wide, other columns…are not wide enough and we want to readjust them.…There are a number of different techniques here.…Fortunately, we can avoid commands. Simply use techniques.…For the moment, let's say we only want…to change columns A, B, and C.…Sometimes if we've got multiple columns,…they're together here, we simply want to change them.…The term "Best Fit" you might have seen in the menu.…All we need to do after selecting these columns…is to double-click either the boundary between A and B…or B and C or the boundary on the right of C,…any of those locations.…
Simply double-click.…Each column is wide enough…to handle all the information in it.…It might look as if column C is too wide,…but farther down the list, there are names of departments…that are quite a bit wider than the ones we're seeing here.…So that's easily done at any time.…We did it here with adjacent columns.…Now, we certainly could have done…other columns at the same time.…
