For the cells you want to be wider, Merge the Cells in A and B. For the
narrow cells, don't merge.
Ex:
Select A1 and B1. Then, Format | Cells | Alignment | Check Merge.

JulieD, how can I do this by merging the cells? I don't plan to ever filter
or sort the cells.

Thanks for the response.

however, you could merge cells to achieve this - but these can cause
problems later if you are doing any filtering or sorting etc

Is there any way I can specify different column widths as I move down the
spreadsheet? For instance, I need columnA to be 20 wide in rows 1-20 and
10
wide in rows 21-40.
