Default .TextFileFixedColumnWidths (from Ron de Bruin)

I stumbled across a great tool on this website (that was linked to Ron de
Bruin) for copying multiple text files into one Excel workbook. This could be
extremely useful to me. However, I'm stumped on altering the code for
assigning the column widths. Below is the code that was posted on his site.
With the instruction, it seems that the width can be set for each column.
When I open a single txt file I set the following column breaks: 4, 17, 36,
56, 76, 93, 104, 117, 130. However, I cannot get it to working with this
code. Please help!! Thanks!!

'Set the width for each column
..TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(5, 4, 8)

On a side note, I was able to write a different macro that opened and
formatted each txt file (about 40 of them), but the macro says it's too long
and cannot run. So, I had to break it down into two separate macros. I'm
hoping I can use the above method to get around using two macros.
