    Autofit makes columns max width of 255

    In some of my spreadsheets when I double click for Autofit it makes the column width 255 when obviously it is nowhere near that wide. Anyone else ever have this issue?

    Hi @go3go3go

    I suppose we need to know at least the Office version that you are using. Please update your profile. Thank you.

    Maybe you have some padding, like spaces?

    Post an example workbook.

    For me (Excel 2010) it seems to work correctly. Double clicking your sample file col A/B boundary reduces col-A width to 10.33
