Hi David: The term Autosizing refers to making a column wid enought to fit all the data.
For example if you had a column consisting of the following data: Row 1 January Row 2 February Row 3 March Row 4 April The last part of the first and second entries will be cut off or overlap into the next cell unless you widden the column, but rather than widden the column too much or not enough, you use this Autofit option to widden it just enough that all four of the entries will fit into their cells. Go into Excel, if you have it, try the above example and you will see what I mean. Then autofit the data as was shown in a previous message and you will see what I mean.
