Objective / Info: Add content to cells in an Excel spreadsheet and auto fit the columns width to fit the content.

Open Excel by clicking the icon on desktop or start menu.

Row 1 has been populated with a long sentence. Notice that the sentence overlaps columns B through I. Once we use the auto fit column width feature, the column will automatically adjust to display all of the contents in a single column.

Select column A by left clicking on it.

While column A is selected, move your mouse to the right hand side of the screen and left click the "Format" button.

Select the "AutoFit Column Width" option from the drop down menu.

The column should have adjusted itself to fit perfectly around any content in the column
