Default How to prevent the auto resizing of a column (ie, lock the width)

Interested in keeping the colmns from resizing as it does automatically when
data entered overflows the current set width. Spreadsheet is being used by
partially disabled (parkinsons disease) individual - mistakes include holding
down number key too long throwing it into repeating mode. She hits <enter
key rather than <esc key and, wa-la, the column expands. Deleting the entry
does not restore the width and so the spread becomes difficult to work with.
