How do you adjust column width to fit content in Excel?

• A. Right-click header and choose AutoFit
• B. Double-click the boundary between column headers
• C. Manually resize with drag of cell content
• D. Use Data -> Text to Columns

Answer: (B)

Double-clicking the boundary between column headers resizes the column to fit its content. When you hover over the line between two column letters, the cursor changes to a two-headed arrow. A quick double-click tells Excel to AutoFit, making the column as wide as the longest value in that column so every entry is visible. This is the quickest and most direct way to ensure content fits without truncation. You can also AutoFit via the right-click menu in some versions, but the double-click method is the simplest and fastest. Dragging the boundary to resize is manual and less precise for fitting to all content.
