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. ...
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 widened 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?
For example,
Excel [Format | Column | Standard Width), and
Quattro [Format | Sheet Properties | Default Width].
My favorite spreadsheet program, 20-year-old PlanPerfect (WordPerfect's old
stablemate) also has it, invoked essentially as Quattro now does it, but I
hesitate to recommend using it as an example because it is currently so hard
to find. Thanks for doing a better job than I did in explaining the issue
and its motivation.
BTW, sorry to be away for several days. However, I'm impressed at the level
of discussion in my absence; maybe I should go away again. ;-)
