I normally do this in VB and its easier because Excel records macros in VB  So I normally go to Excel and save the macro I want to do    So that s what I did now and I got this code   Columns  E E   ColumnWidth   17 29   Range  E3   Interior Pattern   xlSolid  Range  E3   Interior PatternColorIndex   xlAutomatic  Range  E3   Interior Color   65535  Range  E3   Interior TintAndShade   0  Range  E3   Interior PatternTintAndShade   0    I think you can do something like this   xlWorkSheet Columns 5  ColumnWidth   18    For your last question what you need to do is loop trough the columns you want to set their width   for  int i   1  i  lt   10  i       this will apply it from col 1 to 10       xlWorkSheet Columns i  ColumnWidth   18
