Hi, David! I just now tried it, and it's not that way. Double-clicking
on the letter E (the heading of the fifth worksheet column) did nothing
though there were numerous entries wider than the current column width.

I thought maybe you were thinking of tables, which have their own
headings distinct from the A-B-C-D-E-... column letters. But
double-clicking on the word "Title" (the heading of the fifth column of
my table) also did nothing.

That said, I should mention that I have Excel 2010. (MS Office Pro is an
expensive purchase, and Excel 2013, 2016 and so forth haven't added any
features that I consider must-haves.)

Perhaps your memory is correct, but for a later version of Excel than mine?
