Try:
o Position the cursor in the column headers over the boundary between 
the column in question and that immediately to its right.
o Notice that the cursor changes to a vertical line with horizontal 
arrows, left and right.
o Double-click.

Or:
o Select the cell with the longest entry.
o Press Alt+Shift+right-arrow.

I trust this helps.
