I accidently dragged and deleted the format width autofit option on my
toolbar. I want it back. I know you can double click the column top to get
the whole column to autofit; but sometimes I just want a cell to be the
autofit width for the entire column. How can I get it back?

You can reset toolbars under toolscustomizetoolbars and reset

Sorry, it was not on the toolbar, it is on the top command bar where "File
is. I used to be able to hit Format Column and the Autofit option was there.
I tried resetting toolbars; but I do not believe this is called a toolbar,
it is where the commands are like File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, etc. I
had accidently dragged it somehwere and it disappeared.

Use Peo's approach but select Worksheet Menu Bar (towards the end of the
list) and then do the reset.

I have a similar problem. I was previously using Excell 2000 and when I
upgraded to 2003 the autofit icon that I had put on my extensively customized
toolbar was no longer there.

I have searched for the icon in tools/customize, but can't find it to drag
on the toolbar. Is it called something different now? I don't want to reset
toolbar because of customization. Am not having any luck with "Double-click
the left column border in the column header to set the column to Best Fit."
I must be clicking in the wrong place, but can't find the correct place.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I've never had autofit on my toolbar and I've never had any trouble with just
double clicking on the row/column headers.

But you could add an icon to your favorite toolbar:

Tools|customize (just to show that dialog)
now click on Format, then column, then ctrl-drag "autofit selection" to your
favorite toolbar.

ctrl-drag copies that icon. If you just drag it, you'll be moving it.
