Default text overlapping into the next columns

Easy solution - make the column wider.......
Double-Click between the two column letters at the top of your screen and
this will ensure that the width of the column matches the longest entry in
your column.

I have some long text entries and some narrow columns. If they overlap
other columns it will look untidy and it will be more difficult to see where
the entries are in the grid. If people want to see what the full entry is,
I want them to just click on the cell and see the full entry in the toolbar.

Of course, I could put a space in the cell to the right but that is a bit
messy. I just wondered if there was a better way.

Thanks
