Fixing columns widths
 

I have a spreadsheet that gets data populated into it via MS Query.
After the query completes, the columns seem to format themselves to a
width that conforms to the widest data value. Even with column
headings wider than the widest data value, the columns will often time
be reduced in width to be narrower than the column heading; ignoring
the width of the column heading and only considering the width of the
data returned in the results.

Is there a simple way to save off the blank spreadsheet (pre MS Query
results) so that it retains the desired column widths after query
results are pulled in?
