Along the same lines, FWIW, don't get sidetracked with adjusting column width
(or any other formatting issue) every time you make an entry. Wait til you're
finished , double-click as Jim suggesyed & save your file. |:)

That would require a macro. A way that's easier than what you're now doing
is to double-click the header divider, e.g., the line between the "A" and
the "B" in the top header.
