The OP was very specific in saying that he does not want to change the width of all the columns, only the width of columns that have not yet been changed. This is a great question and is one of the small annoyances in Calc that is hard to identify yet make the program unfriendly. Real life scenario illustrating OP's concern: Opening a particular Calc document containing ME information with 144 columns, the column widths are by default 0.89", with the exception of the 64 columns that the user had widened to 3" to suit the data. Now, a coworker needs to see the document and decides that the column widths are too small, which makes the document difficult to read. She wants the width default to be 1.5", but of course she does not want to resize the 64 wided columns. How is this done? To the OP: What spreadsheet program do you use that has this functionality? How is this done in that program?

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
