That did it, thanks so much. I fiddled around with those settings 5-6
times and I thought I tried that, but obviously I didn't.
Is this a common problem? I search the MVP website and didn't find
anything. I used the search phrases: "column width won't adjust" and
"column width text border adjust" and so forth.
