Thank you, Morten, I do understand that - and I don't think it is needed. I was just wondering if there was a way to format .csv files, either the cells themselves, (perhaps using 'required spaces' or similar) or a formatting option, that would set column width.
I don't know how the .xlsx format works to set column width. I suppose one option would simply be to edit that - or, rather, have a script edit that. Where is the best place to find a description of the .xlsx format? Presumably, in that definition, there is something about setting cell sizes, including column widths. I suppose my next question will be how to add xml to a .xlsx file.. I'll look into it. If I find a way, I'll mention it here.
