I added a new column. I chose autofit to contents, and no word wrap. The
first 10 or so characters show up, and then it's blank. When I select the
column, the selection is only about 1", even though I've widened it to over
3". (The width of the selection is the amount of text that it displays.

Does the paragraph format have a right indent set?

Does the text contain tab characters? Did you check the setting for
