Hello All,

Using Excel 2003

I am trying to import data into 3 columns in my worksheet but every time I do, the column width changes.

I have seen several different methods of protecting the worksheet to lock the colum width but then I can longer import data from a text file.

Is there a way to lock the column width and still be able to import data from a text file?

I found options when importing to not change column width. If there's another way I would be interested nonetheless.
