Column widths

[gary]

To adjust the width of the columns, I first select the
columns then use FORMAT/COLUMN/AUTOFIT SELECTION. I then
do FILE/SAVE and FILE/CLOSE.

Then, when I do FILE/OPEN, the column-widths are the same
as they were before I used AUTOFIT.

Why aren't the column-widths being saved?

If you're opening the "csv" file from Excel the width will
not get saved, since it's not an Excel file...

Are you using xl97?

There have been lots of posts complaining that sometimes xl97 won't keep the
columnwidths between closing and reopening.

One suggestion is to make sure that you're running xl97SR2.

But that doesn't always work.
