Gareth, Try the following to solve your problem. Open the Excel Worksheet. Select the column by tapping on the column header. Tap and hold the column header with your finger. A drop down menu will appear. Select ‘autofit’. This will adjust the column with to fit the values in the column. Hope this works!Anonymous

Mark – thanks very much for taking the time to articulate all these comments/suggestions. Some of them are in the works already – the Windows Phone 7 dev team will be delivering some great functionality improvements this year. I thought your suggestion about updating Office Mobile was especially interesting, and your numerous suggestions for Outlook Mobile (including that last one – thanks!) show your considerable awareness of and insight into some of the many technologies that are at play. I will make sure to pass along all your suggestions to the dev team.Anonymous
