Default modifying cell width within same column, but on different rows

Sorry, Goldie, but you just cannot do that in Excel. Cells in a column are
all the same width, cells in a row are all the same height.

You might look at merging cells - which sometimes is a good thing, but can
cause other problems: you could merge where you need the wide cells then just
not merge down where you need the narrow ones.

Is there a way to adjust cell width in my worksheet - so that at the top it
might be one inch wide, but down 30 rows, I'd like the width to be only half
inch because I'm creating a different chart (not one I could import) that
requires different spacing.

Can you maybe make a section break (like in Word) before the area where I
want to adjust my column widths - so that it doesnt affect the column width
above that point?

I am stumped on this one. Thanks for your ideas.
