Well, we should (all know that), since this technique is used in all manner
of applications... :-)

Alternatively, to set each column to allow the largest value to be
fully readable, just press Ctrl-+ (where the + is on the Numeric keypad
with NumLock on.) If you don't have a physical numeric keypad you could
probably use the on-screen keyboard instead. I haven't actually tried doing
that though. Press Win-F1 and search for onscreen keyboard for details
and a link which launches that utility.


Good luck
