Default Column automatically adjusts width to fit text entries

Not able to get an answer to this in General Questions Forum - so trying he
Is it possible to have Excel automatically extend the width of a column as
text is entered. That is, instead of the text spilling over into the
adjoining cell, the column automatically increases in width as characters
are added. Answer needed
for one of our teachers ASAP - college instructor claims it can be done - I
am unable to find it anywhere.
