I work with a system which gives me a fixed width dump of data for each
file I request. This must then be imported into Excel, and the columns
have to be lined up with the import wizard every time (about 50
columns)! The columns will always be the same width. How can I save
or automate the column widths to easily import the data after setting
up the columns just once?
