I am trying to adjust the column width in the Data View display. Easy to do, but I can't make the changes take. If I make some other change to the Data View (e.g., enter a different value for some variable), the column widths for all columns snap back to what they originally were - some kind of default width. How do I make my column width changes stay permanently for that data set?

Never mind; found the answer: adjust the number in the "Columns" column in variable view.

Columns columThe Columns column is where you specify the width of the column you’ll use to enter the data. The folks at SPSS could have used the word Width to describe it, but they already used that term for the width of the data itself. A better name may have been the two words Column Width, but that would have been too long to display nicely in this window, so they just called it Columns. To specify the number of columns, select a cell and enter the number.
