I want Excel to resize cells, based on the content I put in them,
automatically.

Try AutoFit which you can find under Format Row AutoFit

Either -
Click on the letter at the head of the column (to highlight the column)
Click on <Format<Column<Auto fit selection

Or-
Click on the number to the left of the row (to highlight the row)
Click on <Format<Row<Auto fit selection

As appropriate.

If this makes a column disproportionately large you could wrap the text in
selected cells. To do this -
Click on <Format<Cells<Alignment<Text<OK

Look at FormatRowAutofit and FormatColumnAutofit Selection.

If you have problems with the fitting perhaps you have another problem which
you haven't clearly stated.

Like....are any cells "merged"?..........how much text are you trying to enter
in a cell?...........are you set for "wrap text"?
