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.

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

Note : If there had been multiple rows of content, the column would have adjusted to the width of the widest cell.

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.
