Hi, Senator. You can record a macro to do this:

Here's the steps you want to take after you start recording:

Edit--Select all
Format--Column Autofit
Ctrl+Home
(stop recording)

I am importing .cvs records into Excel that I will save as an .xls file.
There are about 25 columns of information and each column has data of a
different character length. However, all the column widths are the same,
"8.43". This presents a very laborious process of having to manually
adjust
all the column widths. Is there a way to have Excel automatically adjust
the
column widths to fit the longest string of characters in each of the
columns?
Thanks
