This property is used to specify an object's column width, in points. A value equal to -1 (minus one) or blank forces the width to be calculated on the column. The minimum width on a calculated column is 72 points, or 1 (one) inch. A value equal to 0 (zero) hides a column. To produce narrower columns, users must specify a width in this property or use one of the values described on the next table.
