Try zooming in and zooming out in Excel...this will also change the width of
a column. (Ctrl + scroll with the scroll wheel is the fast way to zoom in
and out.)

If you have an issue with data not showing when you zoom in or out, format
those cells to "Shrink to fit" and the text will never convert to ####, which
indicates not enough room for cell contents.
