In a spreadsheet with many rows of data, it is difficult to "eye-ball" a column and widen it to fit the largest entry.

There is a quick and easy method of automatically adjusting a column to fit the largest entry:

1. In sample below Column A needs to be widened to view all the entries completely.

2. Place the mouse pointer in between the column A and B headings until the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow. See sample below.

3. Double-click the mouse and the column will adjust automatically to fit the largest entry.

In sample below (cell A11) Peanut Butter & Chocolate  is the largest entry.
